This is a super simple cocktail. With the rich orange flavor of Cointreau, balanced with tart lime or lemon juice, and topped off with some sparkling water,Ā it’s a great holiday drink to serve!

The Berry Ricky

Leave a reply

With end of summer lingering (I’m optimistic)Ā and the transition to fall upon us, this is a great time to enjoy late summer seasonalĀ berries. This drink uses raspberries, blackberries, lime and mint, add some Cointreau, soda water and voila! No fancy cocktail tools, no shaking, just a little stirring of ingredients and served with ice!
