Your next celebration needs these non-alcoholic Blueberry Lemonade Spritzers! Fresh blueberries, lemonade and some fizz for a refreshing beverage!
SURPRISE MEGAN! It’s your very own virtual wedding shower!
Now every wedding shower, virtual or not, calls a refreshing bevy. Agree? So I wanted to share with you all my newest favorite drink. It calls for fresh blueberries, fresh lemons and tastes just as it should with a little fizzy action that’ll tickle your nose.
I also had a batch of that wine simple syrup left over from this recipe so I’d serve it off to the side for those of who wanted a little oomph to their spritzer. A couple tablespoons of that and it adds a little sweetness, a little wine-ness and a whole lotta warm-cheeky-ness. It’s lovely… but totally optional. You could always swizzle in a little sugar and stir to dissolve if you want it sweeter just minus the wine.
Cheers & best of luck to Megan and Ben! I hope your wedding day is filled with sunshine, laughter and love! Much love to you both!

THANK YOU in advance for your support!
WOW! I’m new here, so I don’t know Megan and Ben…yet!…but how nice to get invited to a bridal shower the day after me and my hubby celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary! 🙂 Megan and Ben, may you have as many happy moments, with moments turning into days, and days turning into years, as me and my ‘Boo’ have had! 🙂
This drink sounds wonderful! I’m so happy that you brought it along to this party!
Thanks Kathryn!
This looks delicious – I’m always looking for good new drink recipes.
Your timing is perfect on these! Megan just posted blueberry lemon donuts yesterday, and now you post the perfect cocktail for her. She’s going to love these. And with our south Texas heat, I’m going to have to mix up a batch very soon. Cheers to Megan & Ben!
