Vodka Spritzer with Cherry + Cilantro Simple Syrup

A classic summer cocktail, the vodka spritzer, gets an upgrade with an infusion of sweet, fresh cherries and cilantro.

If you look up the word “refreshing” in the dictionary you’ll see this picture next to it. Light and sweet and bubbly, this vodka spritzer is swiftly becoming my go-to summer cocktail.

And summer hasn’t even started yet! {technically.}

This vodka spritzer is perfect for those nights with friends when you want an adult beverage (or two) but don’t necessarily want to drink your face off. Made in a collins glass, it’s a tall drink that’s relatively low in alcohol content. This vodka spritzer is practically designed to help you pace yourself. And according to Livestrong.com there are some health benefits to making vodka your alcohol of choice.

I’m sharing the recipe for this little gem in my final post as part of the creative team at A Dish of Daily Life. Michelle has a highly engaged food-loving community over there and I’ve enjoyed being a part of it. It seemed only natural, necessary even, to finish off with a cocktail.

Going out on a high note, shall we say?

Thank you for indulging me.

And now it’s your turn.

Hop on over to A Dish of Daily Life and indulge in this breezy, beautiful cocktail. Even if you don’t drink alcohol, you still need the recipe for this simple syrup. I’ve been enjoying it just with soda water and drizzled over yogurt. Because, contrary to the reputation I may have set up for myself, I don’t drink 24/7 😉
