Vodka Spritzers

No time for blending drinks? Let mother nature help.  These spritzers are simple, refreshing and portable!  Enjoy at a sporting event, bring them to a party or just enjoy them all to yourself at home.

You will need:
  • 12, 8oz Ball Jars
  • Sun

Ingredients:
  • Vodka
  • Tonic
  • fresh berries
  • Ice
  • Raw sugar

Directions:
Place about 3-4 smaller variety berries in each jar or I will use 1 large quartered strawberry.  Add 1 shot of vodka and 1 Tsp. of raw sugar to each jar.  
Place in sun ( preferably 80 degrees +) for 4-6 hours.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. These will last up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator, however, I do recommend that you replace the old berries with a fresh serving as they will become pickled over time with a not so pleasant texture.


To serve:
Place a generous amount of ice, top with tonic, replace Ball cover, give it a gentle shake and you are ready to enjoy.
