 I love an Aperol Spritz. It reminds me of traveling in Italy and looking at the Mediterranean. But what if there was a quick way to have an ice cold Spritz, especially when it’s literally 100 degrees outside? The answer is an Aperol Popsicle. I got these popsicle molds from Amazon and use them for regular ice pops for the kids as well. This recipe is easy, and since they are in the freezer they are ready to go on a hot evening when you want a nice cold cocktail by the pool. Enjoy! Aperol Popsicles INGREDIENTS: 2 Cups Aperol 1 Cup Orange Juice (I prefer it without pulp for these pops) 1 Cup lemonade 2 bottles of prosecco (1/2 cup per serving – recipe makes 10 pops) PREPARATION: Mix all of the ingredients into a pitcher or a container with a spout for easy pouring. Freeze with a popsicle stick per pop in the ice pop mold. SERVING: Remove one pop from the mold, and place in a wineglass (stemless works best). Serve with prosecco. Enjoy!

 This fetching drink gets its name from the Broadway musical of the same that was one of the first musical theatre successes of the 20th Century. The original London production opened in 1899 where it ran for a very successful 455 performances. The New York production, which opened the following year, was even more popular, running for 552 performances. After this, the piece was produced throughout the English-speaking world and beyond. The musical was famous for its double sextet and its chorus line of "Florodora Girls". The story goes that this drink was invented for one of the girls in the chorus. I liked it before I learned of its Broadway pedigree, but now I’d say this is this Broadway Baby’s favorite cocktail. This is also a pretty and easy cocktail to serve for Mahjong night.

 I read that this year was the "Summer of the Hugo Spritz." Which I love, but these Hugo Spritz Ice Cubes make it even easier. I've got chilled Hugo Spritzes in the freezer ready to go out to the pool at any time. This recipe could not be easier. I hope you enjoy them, too! Hugo Spritz Ice Cubes (recipe is per cube) INGREDIENTS: 1 oz Elderflower liqueur 1 oz water ½ oz lime juice 1 thinly sliced wheel of lime 1 thinly sliced wheel of lemon PREPARATION: Pour each ingredient directly into a silicone large ice cube tray. I place a small cookie tray under it to keep it steady and not spill. Carefully place in the freezer and freeze overnight. SERVING: When ready to serve, add an ice cube to a glass, and top with Prosecco. Enjoy!   When it comes to cocktails, I personally prefer gin to vodka. I like that there is a variety of gins with different herbal taste profiles. And I like pink gin for the flavors. Pink gin gets its color from bitters. Plus its pretty. Besides being refreshing, and fun for being pink, this cocktail recipe is very quick and easy to create, and is the perfect (pink) gin cocktail for summer. Or to toast to the end of Summer. Or toast to the beginning of Autumn….You get the idea. Pink Gin and Prosecco Raspberry Fizz INGREDIENTS:
