Ingredients
Drink Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar (optional)
- 2 cups lemon vodka
- 1 (750 ml) bottle Moscato d’Asti (sparkling Moscato) or Prosecco
- 3 cups pink lemonade
- 2 (7.5 ounces) cans Sprite
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 lemon, sliced then quartered
- Ice, as needed
Garnish
- 1 lemon, cut in wedges
- 2 tablespoons (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the lemon vodka: Whisk 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar into the 2 cups of lemon vodka until the sugar is fully dissolved, enhancing the lemony sweetness of the vodka.
- Mix the cocktail: In a large pitcher, combine the lemon vodka mixture, bottle of Moscato d’Asti or Prosecco, pink lemonade, Sprite, sliced strawberries, raspberries, and lemon quarters. Stir gently to blend the flavors together.
- Add ice: Fill the pitcher with ample ice to chill the drink thoroughly and keep it refreshingly cold.
- Prepare the glass rims: Pour 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar onto a small shallow plate. Rub the rims of individual glasses with lemon wedges, then dip the rims into the sugar to create a sweet, citrusy sugar coating.
- Serve: Pour the prepared cocktail into the sugar-rimmed glasses and garnish with additional lemon wedges if desired. Enjoy immediately for best flavor and chill.
Notes
- Using Moscato d’Asti or Prosecco adds a lovely bubbly sweetness to the drink but Prosecco will give a drier taste if preferred.
- The granulated sugar in the lemon vodka is optional and can be adjusted based on your sweetness preference.
- Fresh berries add both flavor and visual appeal; freeze the fruit beforehand for an extra chilled effect without diluting the drink.
- Adjust the amount of Sprite for less or more sweetness and carbonation according to taste.
- This recipe makes approximately 10 servings, perfect for summer parties and gatherings.
