You guys have been asking for mocktail recipes since I announced I was pregnant so here I am to deliver! This Mandarin Spritz is delish and works as a mocktail or with a splash of booze!

We drank a version of these BY THE BUCKET last time we were over in Europe for the summer. (side note - remember what vacation feels like? I certainly don't!) These freshly squeezed spritz cocktails or mocktails make the perfect refreshing drink. Fresh mandarin juice, a touch of lime juice, sparkling water to get it that fizz, and alcohol if you want. It's festive, works at any time of the year, and is V refreshing!!
