Today I am joining 7 of my blogging friends as we share our favourite summer cocktails. You will find links to all the other cocktails at the end of this post! As always, enjoy responsibly!

If you ask me, when it comes to summer flavors lemon is at the top of the list. I love a tall cold glass of fresh squeezed lemonade on a hot summer day. But, when I am looking for a summer cocktail, this delicious lemon Sgroppino is what I reach for!

It takes just a couple of minutes to prepare and so refreshing!

Considered a dessert cocktail, this Italian cocktail recipe I am sharing today comes from the folks at Nielsen-Massey.

Speaking of dessert cocktails, this Boozy Limoncello Frozen Cocktail is a reader favourite no matter what the season!

I was delighted when the sent me a bottle of their Organic Pure Lemon Extract to try in any recipe I like, and was welcome to use one of their own. As soon as I saw the recipe for this yummy lemon cocktail made with Prosseco I knew I had a winner!

Ingredients

Prosecco or other sparkling wine (or non-alcoholic sparking wine for cocktail)
Vodka (omit for mocktail)
Neilson-Massey lemon extract
lemon sorbet

Serve in champagne flutes or large wine glasses

Not only does it get a refreshing lemon flavor from the pure lemon extract, but it is topped with a little scoop of lemon sorbet! Need I say more! The bubbles from the prosecco, the tart lemon extract and the sweet lemon sorbet makes for a heavenly end to a warm summer day.

To add a little extra lemon sparkle you can rub the rim of each glass with a bit of the pure lemon extract and dip in course sugar before preparing!

Make this a Mocktail by using a non-alcholic sparking wine, omitting the vodka and adding an additional drop or two of lemon extract.

You could easily make this a non-alcoholic cocktail by using a sparkling non-alcoholic wine and omitting the vodka, and adding an extra drop or two of extract. It is just as delicious as the “hard” version!
