This post is sponsored by Winter Sweetz, but all opinions are 100% my own.
For a twist on the classic aperol spritz, I have created a seasonal recipe using my favorite Winter Sweetz Texas Ripened Red Grapefruits. Grapefruit is the perfect citrus to add into the ingredients of this cocktail for a bright citrus flavor addition. This cocktail is the perfect aperitif to serve up before any meal or to enjoy on a sunny day.

Pomegranate Rosemary Gin and Tonic
A gin and tonics is a classic cocktail that I like to give a festive spin on for the holidays with pomegranate and rosemary. This fun holiday cocktail is easy to make and is so pretty to serve at any gathering you might be attending or hosting over the month. The color of this cocktail alone is reason enough to make this delicious holiday version of a gin and tonic and it truly requires minimal effort which is something we all want during the holiday season. This recipe for a pomegranate rosemary gin and tonic will surely become a favorite drink to serve up every holiday season.
mojitos
Summer might be coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean we have to say goodbye to delicious and refreshing cocktails like the classic mojito! Mojitos originated in Cuba and are made with a few simple ingredients that result in one of the most delicious cocktails that are mildly sweet with the perfect balance of tartness from the lime. These easy mojitos are scaled down for two servings, but can very easily be made into a pitcher size for entertaining.
