Two Summer Spritzer Cocktail Recipes

These two delicious cocktails are perfect for enjoying while lounging by the pool or whipping up for a fun night with friends! What better way to start the summer than with two delicious fruit-flavored cocktails? 

Explore these two recipes, the Açaí Blackberry Rosé Spritzer and the Strawberry Dragon Fruit Spritzer, made with love by Amy Traynor, creator of @moodymixologist, in collaboration with SAMBAZON Açaí. 

A Note from Amy, the Recipe Creator 

I’ve used SAMBAZON's frozen Açaí packs in smoothies for years, so I was excited to try their Açaí juice and dragon fruit beverage in some summery cocktails. The Açaí juice is silky smooth and has a deep berry flavor with hints of chocolate. It pairs well with SO many flavors but I loved it in a simple spritzer with rosé.  

SAMBAZON's Dragon Fruit Berry Ginger Blend is made with a mix of dragon fruit, berries and ginger and it tastes like a sunny summer afternoon. Add a little rosé or a white wine and some bubbles and it’s a perfect poolside drink!  

I’ll sip both of these juices on their own any time of day, but here are two summer spritzers if you want to take your superfruits into happy hour! 

What is a Spritzer? 

A spritzer is a refreshing, chilled beverage typically served in a tall glass. This drink is made by combining wine or liquor with carbonated water, seltzer, or sparkling wine, creating a light and effervescent experience. 

Spritzers often include ice, enhancing their cooling effect, making them especially popular during the summer months. The combination of alcohol and carbonation provides a crisp, invigorating flavor that is perfect for warm weather, offering a delightful way to stay cool and enjoy a refreshing drink.
