The Summer Garden Fizz is a light, crisp, herbal, and refreshing alcoholic tipple for the warmer months of the year. It’s made with St. Germain, Lillet Blanc, citrus juice, fresh herbs, and sparkling water. You can use your favorite herbs to customize it to the season at hand!
Popping in just before the weekend to leave you with this refreshing little cocktail! Lillet and St. Germain are two of my favorite tipples so only makes sense to combine them into one drink. Though my garden has been hit hard by our heat advisories over the past couple of weeks, most of it is still fairing pretty well. In honor of the tenacity of my garden and the beautiful plants it yields, I decided to dub this cocktail the Summer Garden Fizz. It’s light, crisp, herbal, and refreshing. Cheers to a lovely (and plentifully air-conditioned) weekend!
