Slightly Perfect

It's been incredibly cold (for Texas) these past few weeks and as much as I love the cold, coupled with some very nasty torrential downpours, I'm craving summer. This practically cause for institutionalization for me. I despise hot temperatures. Over 85 and I feel like I'm melting. But my favorite part of the warmer months is Snapple Peach Tea. It's a little bit of heaven. 

I haven't had any since Octoberish and I'm really missing it right now. Ugh. I can't wait for March. I've been able to survive with my Williams Sonoma Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate but sometimes you just want something a little different. 

Enter the spritzer. 
This cheery little drink can drive away the winter blues in a heartbeat and brings joy to the hearts of many. It's like the easiest thing too!

Here's what you'll need for a most excelent spritzer:

1 cup
Some ice
cranberry juice or a juice blend with cranberry (I always use Cran-Grape)
Sprite


Fill your cup about half full with ice
add the juice
add the sprite

The ratios of juice to soda are 100% up to the maker, less juice, more bubbly, whatever you want!
I usually go for 2/3 juice and 1/3 soda.

Add a bendy straw and enjoy sipping on summertime!

Keep it classy,
