Nothing says summer better than soaking up the sun with a cool drink in hand. This Summer Breeze Cocktail is my current favorite because it has the most refreshing ingredients and is absolutely delicious. Trust me, one pitcher of it won’t be enough!

This drink pairs perfectly with any light summer meal. Its fresh ingredients complement just about any flavor. Serve it with a decadent charcuterie board or even a simple Quiche Lorraine. 

 

Preparing to Make Your Cocktail

The best part about this cocktail is that it is super easy to make. It’s so simple that after you’ve gathered your ingredients, you’re already halfway there!

All you need is some cucumbers, limes, cilantro, mint, vodka, and prosecco or sparkling wine. Whichever you choose to use is totally up to you – this is where you can play with the cocktail based on your preferences! Use a Crémant sparkling wine to channel your inner French femme. 

Here’s how you can make this delicious drink right at home!
