Spring Spritzers

They ripes as New Year draws closer and other trees stand almost leafless

Nothing says springtime to me like spritzers. Traditionally most of my favorites would be made with champagne, however I find the Prosecco crafts a better sip. These are stress-free and easy to build in glass. So put your feet up outside preferably, soak up some springtime sun and enjoy a refreshing moment.
