Quick Summer Wine Spritzer ;-)

Myself and my friend and housemate Rob, fancied a summery cocktail one rather hot and sunny evening last week. Filled by the joys of anything containing alcohol and the fact we were parched, I created this super easy and rather refreshing white wine spritzer.

A perfect drink for summer parties or to have with a few snacks, its costs very little and tasty!

Bottoms up! :-)

You will need:

1 bottle of white wine, dry or sweet depending on your preference.
1 bottle of white lemonade
1 punnet of strawberries
3-4 berry/fruity tea-bags (non-caffeine, just fried fruits and berries)
Ice
A few sprigs of fresh basil to garnish (optional)

These tea-bags are excellent and sold in Lidl Uk ;-)

 Serving:

A large jug or punch bowl

Method:

Firstly cut the strawberries in half, I used about 10 or so but its up to you. Add the fruit to the jug/bowl.

Next pour the entire bottle of white wine into the jug/bowl and to that add the same volume of white lemonade to it, you can add less or more depending on how strong or weak you fancy it.

Next add the ice to the jug and then add 3-4 fruit tea-bags, its best to tie them together with a piece of thread or string and let the dangle in the mixture for about 10mins. While this is happening I advise you store it in the fridge. The object of this is to both colour the spritzer and to add a fruity flavour to it. Once the 10 or so minutes are up gently squeeze out the tea-bags and remove from the mixture.

Add the sprigs of basil and stir well. Its now time to serve!
