Strawberry Shortcake Spritzer: Cheers To The Sweet Life!
When you think of desserts, strawberry shortcake might come to mind — that glorious blend of juicy strawberries, fluffy cake, and sweet cream. Now, what if we said you could encapsulate that joyous flavor in a cocktail glass? Enter the Strawberry Shortcake Spritzer, a drink that’s a playful nod to the cherished dessert, yet sophisticated enough for an elegant soirée.
Imagine sipping on a bubbly concoction that sings of summer strawberries with an alluring hint of vanilla, topped off with the effervescence of sparkling wine. Dreamy, right? Let’s dive into crafting this delightful cocktail!
Strawberry Shortcake Spritzer: The Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4-5 fresh strawberries, plus extra for garnish
- 1 oz Licor 43
- Sparkling wine (your choice, though a dry variety like Prosecco or Cava works beautifully)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions:
- Mulling the Strawberries: Start by hulling and dicing your strawberries. In a cocktail shaker, muddle them well until you’ve extracted their vibrant red juice. This process releases all the natural sugars and flavors, forming the base of our spritzer.
- Licor 43 Magic: Add the Licor 43 to the muddled strawberries. This Spanish liqueur, with its intricate blend of 43 ingredients, including hints of vanilla and citrus, complements the strawberries and adds a layer of depth to our spritzer.
- Shake it Up: Add a handful of ice to the shaker and give it a vigorous shake, ensuring the strawberry and Licor 43 are well-mixed.
- Pour & Top Up: Strain the mixture into a beautiful glass, leaving space at the top. Now, bring sparkling wine. Pour it gently, allowing it to cascade over the strawberry mixture and create a delightful fizz.
- The Finishing Touch: Garnish with a fresh strawberry slice and a sprig of mint. The mint doesn’t just add a pop of color; its aromatic freshness complements the fruity sweetness of the drink.
The Strawberry Shortcake Spritzer is more than just a cocktail; it’s a celebration in a glass. It’s perfect for brunches, garden parties, or any time you want to raise a toast to the sweeter moments in life. So, the next time you’re looking for a drink that’s both nostalgic and novel, remember this spritzer. Cheers to the sweet life!

This Is What Happens When You Drink A Margarita Every Day
BY CAROLINE CORAL
Whether it’s cooling off by the pool during a summertime heatwave or an escape to a beachy tropical paradise, there are more than a few occasions to enjoy multiple days of margaritas. Don’t let the fact that the godfather of Margaritaville, Jimmy Buffet, has given up on the cocktail (via People) deter you entirely. Here’s a look at the pluses and minuses of drinking fresh lime juice, triple sec, and tequila on a daily basis.
According to The Daily Meal, a margarita made with freshly squeezed lime juice is going to contribute towards a healthy daily dose of vitamin C. The benefits of citrus are big. Dig in a little deeper and you’ll find that lime juice contains additional healthy elements including antioxidants, immunity boosters, and even factors that can keep your skin glowing and reduce the risk of heart disease (via Healthline).
Of course, there is a downside to consuming all of that citrus. The Chicago Tribune warns that overdoing margs (and other highly acidic beverages) while in the summer sun can lead to a nasty condition called phytophotodermatitis otherwise known as “margarita dermatitis.” The thinking behind this theory is that when lime juice comes into contact with skin, the sun heats it up making for a painful rash.
