Creating a Summer Cocktail

Create Your Own Summer Cocktail. A Lemon-Basil Fizz.

Disclaimer: I am not, in any way, shape or form, a bartender. Just a girl who thinks she can do anything, including whip up a yummy summer cocktail. Besides ‘creating a cocktail’ is on my bucket list. So, on a hot Arizona day I put on my mixologist hat and whipped up this tasty cocktail.

LEMON-BASIL FIZZ
1/2 Cup Prosecco
1/4 Cup Lemon Sorbet
1 oz Coconut Rum
1/4 Cup Fresh Raspberries
1/2 Cup Ice
1 Large Basil Leaf

Put all ingredients into a blender & blend. Pour into a glass and top with a dollop of lemon sorbet.

Wow what a great cocktail. I had a create your own cocktail party where I supplied all the mixings and everyone brought the other booze. It was an ugly night! Love the video.

I love this! I am actually a licensed bartender (although I've never worked in a bar) and I've always wanted to impress my friends with my very own drink. Yours sounds like a must-try!
