Ginger-Cucumber Spritzer

Spritzers are refreshing sparkling beverages that may be prepared with a number of base ingredients ranging from wine to sparkling water then they may be flavored with fresh herbs, citrus, & more. When family celebrations are in order consider serving a Ginger-Cucumber Spritzer as it’s a refreshing option to a traditional glass of lemonade or tea. Place a few English cucumber & lemon slices in a goblet filled with ice, then top with ginger ale or sparkling water. A sprig of mint may be added as a garnish but it’s certainly not necessary. The ingredients will flavor the base gently for a delicious sipper.

How To Create A Spring Beverage Table

Creating a separate area for preparing & serving drinks is a smart way that guests may help themselves to something refreshing while you finish up the last minute details for the main meal. It may be as simple as a wagon filled with ice & canned drinks on the corner of the deck or in the yard or something that has more to offer.
The Technique

Use a small table & organize it with several essentials. Arrange glasses, beverage napkins & a bucket of ice with a scoop to one side. Next, place a little water in a glass & add a bouquet of fresh herbs that may be used to flavor & garnish drinks. Finally, have sliced citrus & cucumber arranged on a tray with a pair of tongs close. Consider offering Party Nuts for guests to snack on.
