This citrus berry spritzer makes a great holiday party cocktail, but it's deliciously refreshing any time of year. Plus, it couldn't be simpler! All you need is vermouth, club soda, your pick of fresh berries, and a few mint leaves. Raspberries are my favorite pick for the holiday season, but... giadzy.com

Citrus Berry Spritz

Serves 4

As seen on: Giada’s Holiday Handbook, Episode 4. Santa’s Grab Bag.

Combine the vermouth with the club soda in a pitcher. Pour into 4 glasses. Divide the berries and ice cubes among the glasses. Give the mint leaves a rub and add one to each glass. Serve chilled.

Cook’s Note: To make the berry ice cubes, simply place a berry in each cup of an ice cube tray. Fill the tray with water and freeze.

Recipe by Giada De Laurentiis

Giada is a chef, mother, author and restauranteur. She is known as the Emmy-award winning television personality of Food Network’s Everyday Italian, Giada at Home, Giada In Italy, as a judge on Food Network Star, NBC Today Show correspondent, for her eight New York Times best-selling cookbooks and her debut restaurant, GIADA, in Las Vegas. Though most days, you can find her in Los Angeles with her daughter, Jade and kitten, Bella, whipping up something delicious in the kitchen involving parmiggiano reggiano or her weakness, dark chocolate!

This citrus berry spritzer makes a great holiday party cocktail, but it’s deliciously refreshing any time of year. Plus, it couldn’t be simpler! All you need is vermouth, club soda, your pick of fresh berries, and a few mint leaves. Raspberries are my favorite pick for the holiday season, but really any kind works here. What makes this drink extra special are the berry ice cubes. They take some preparation in advance, but it’s totally worth it! 

Another great crowd-friendly cocktail is my Campari spritzer pitcher. You can also never go wrong with a classic Aperol spritz, my burnt citrus cocktails, or for an icy treat, a spritzer slushy!
