Summer Berry Spritzer

January 6, 2014 | Drinks & Smoothies

Summer berry spritzer

With record temperatures this week in Queensland, staying hydrated is a priority. So I whipped up this delicious, refreshing Summer Berry Spritzer. My family loved the flavours and scooping up the berry pulp with the end of the lemongrass stalk too.

Health benefits

The coconut water is nature’s power-ade and I’ve written about its wonderful benefits here.  The berries are fabulous antioxidants and the lemongrass is antimicrobial.

A refreshing, rehydrating summer mocktail or even cocktail, this Summer Berry Spritzer is delicious. 

Ingredients

  • 700 ml coconut water -chilled
  • 50 g frozen mixed berries (½ cup)
  • 4 sprigs fresh mint leaves
  • 4 stalks lemongrass -washed and the fat end crushed and bruised (I just bash it with the rolling pin)

Method

  • Divide your ingredients between the glasses.
  • As the berries start to soften, prod them with the bruised end of the  lemongrass stalk. This realises the lovely flavours of both the berries and the lemongrass.
  • Add more ice if required and serve immediately.

Variations

No lemon grass?

You could substitute with quarters of lime.

Recycle

Waste not! Recycle the lemon grass by folding it up and placing in a plunger and cover with boiling water to make lemongrass tea.

Cocktail

Add a shot of vodka for a refreshing, sugar-free summer cocktail.
