 After social distancing for about a month now, many of us are trying to find ways to use our imagination and get creative. Looking to spice up your at-home bar during quarantine? We are sharing a cocktail a week. If you are able to get your hands on a few staple ingredients a tasty new drink concoction can be a great distraction to help pass the time. We are missing our favorite local restaurants, bars, and happy hours! Cheers and stay well everyone. 

 

Lemosa  

(Makes one)

 

What you need: 

  • Three ounces of your favorite champagne or sparkling wine (I used The Perfect Bubbly from Mazza)
  • Three ounces of lemonade or any lemon-flavored drink (I like to make homemade lemonade using one cup of lemon juice, one cup of sugar, and six cups of water)
  • Lemon slices
  • Strawberries and blueberries for garnish 
  • Champagne flute

 

What to do: 

  • Fill the glass with three ounces of lemonade 
  • Top with three ounces of champagne 
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice
  • Garnish with lemon slice, strawberries, and blueberries

 

Enjoy!
