Hey everyone!
It’s Memorial Day Weekend … the unofficial beginning of summer.
And that means … it’s officially Spritzer Season!
Allow me to once again share my Classic White Wine Spritzer recipe.
Can we really call it a recipe … it’s so simple?
You can read all about it, and print a copy, here.

All you need is your favorite white wine, sparking water or club soda and, if you like,
a slice of citrus.
I love my cold drinks COLD and add ice to my spritzers.
If you do the same, perhaps go a bit lighter on the sparking water or club soda so melting ice doesn’t water down your spritzer too much.
Last Friday I mixed my favorite of favorites the Classic White Wine Spritzer on Instagram Live.
It was my first live video (ahem … keep expectations low) and it’s saved to my Instagram highlights and IGTV library if you’d like to have a look.
My apologies for the lame presentation … as I said, it was my first time.
Things can only get better from here, right?!
I love a slice of citrus in my spritzer … lemon, lime, orange and even grapefruit.
Half the fun of cocktail hour is a pretty presentation.
Did you get a good look at this
blue and white, floral tray?!
I have a collection of melamine covered birch wood trays …
they’re the best for outdoor entertaining.
Now off you go to mix yourself a spritzer, post a photo and tag me on your social media …
I want to see!

Last night we had friends over for dinner … our first outdoor entertaining of the year. Or so we thought. After enjoying appetizers and cocktails around the fire pit we decided it was too cold to eat outside and quickly moved the table setting indoors. I even fired up our indoor fireplace. Somehow eating a menu, meant to be enjoyed outdoors, indoors seemed a bit odd …
but what can you do?
I made another of my favorite summer and fall (who are we kidding … year-round) spritzers … the Aperol Spritz and you can find the recipe here.
I’m really looking forward to entertaining at Snowberry this summer. Finally.
There’s going to be a lot of al fresco dining.

Our Fidalgo Island house on Memorial Day … a few years back. I miss this house, but not the weather … this was a rare, sunny day.
I hope you’re enjoying the holiday weekend while keeping our fallen heroes in your heart.
As always, I appreciate your visit and welcome your thoughts in the comments below.
Cheers from Snowberry!

Hi Juliet! These white wine spritzers look so refreshing. I am thinking these will be the perfect summer beverage to sip during the hot summer months that are predicted for san diego!
Absolutely, Barbara! They’ll help us survive the heat that’s coming our way. Cheers! xo
I can imagine these being lovely and refreshing – I’ve never had a white wine sprtizer but not surprising as I don’t drink. Can we talk about that amazing blind above the sink? It’s wonderful, the colour works so perfectly with your cupboards. And then, there’s your house on the fidalgo island – wow! I know what you mean about rare sunny days – after weeks of rain, i’m wondering whether it’s ever going to stop.
Hi Carol, while I got tired of the rain in the Pacific Northwest, I’d be happy for a little of it here in draught ridden California. Thanks for noticing the shades … I was abolsutely thrilled when I round the stopped Ralph Lauren fabric. It’s like it was made for our cabinet color! xo
I SAW THAT FIRST LIVE……………GOOD FOR YOU!
I DUOBT I WILL EVER STEP TO THE PLATE FOR THOSE!
Contessa … you’d be so brilliant at it. And could teach me a thing or two! xo
These look so refreshing! and all that blue and white – dreamy!
Thanks, Jen … and cheers to you! xo
So fun! Im def going to make SPRITZERS this weekend.
Hi Stacey … I hope you do! Cheers! xo
