Signature drinks are a fun way to represent your personal style when hosting a special event. In the spirit of the fall bridal season, we whipped up a blackberry lemon spritzer to keep things light, festive and full of flavor (and pretty too)!
Our blackberry and fresh lemon spritzer recipe has one super secret ingredient—homemade blackberry sauce! Once you make the sauce and it has cooled, add it to a pitcher along with everything else and you have an amazing signature cocktail!
