We love to entertain outside on our brick patio in the summer. Friends come over and we enjoy the evening with a cocktail. This spritzer is light and refreshing for those summer nights. We recently served this at a birthday party and upon leaving Ms. Judy said it was the best birthday party she’d ever been to. We’re sure this opinion was influenced by this delightful spritzer.

Ingredients
2 cups fresh strawberries or 1 (10-oz.) package frozen whole strawberries, thawed
1 (10-oz.) can frozen strawberry daiquiri mix
1 cup tequila
1/4 cup orange liqueur. We like Grand Marnier.
Juice of 2 limes
1 (1-liter) bottle club soda, chilled
Garnishes: lime slices and quartered fresh strawberries
Method
Pulse first 5 ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour into a pitcher, and stir in club soda just before serving. Serve over ice. Garnish, if desired.
If you prefer, add the club soda to your glass instead of the pitcher to ensure it stays bubbly.
