    Happy Wednesday, friends! As some of the quarantine restrictions are being lifted around the country, some of us will be able to reunite with family and friends over the holiday weekend, and I for one cannot wait to relax and have some tasty food and delicious cocktails! Today I wanted to share some easy-breezy pitcher cocktail recipes that you can throw together in advance for serving at your get-togethers this summer.

    Strawberry Champagne Pitcher Cocktail

    Prep Time 20 minutes
    Servings 1 pitcher

    Ingredients

    • 1 bottle champagne
    • 1/2 cup apricot brandy
    • 1/2 cup simple syrup
    • 1 bunch mint
    • 2 cups strawberries sliced
    • Ice

    For simple syrup:

    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup water

    Instructions

    1. To prepare simple syrup, combine sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature before proceeding.
    2. To prepare pitcher cocktail, combine champagne, apricot brandy, simple syrup, mint, and strawberries in a large pitcher. (You can adjust the amount of simple syrup based on your taste level, less if you prefer a less sweet cocktail, as the apricot brandy also provides some sweetness). Stir to combine, then add ice before serving and stir again.
