make-shift spritzer

a classy girl is never desperate.

but as we move into summer party hosting,

it's always good to have a back up cocktail on hand.

here is what i'm calling a 'make-shift spritzer'

adapted from bon appetit

(all of which i'm hoping you already have in your kitchen, like i do)

1 tablespoon raw sugar

3/4 cup seedless berry jam

(i used raspberry)

4 cups soda water

2 cups vodka (plain or lemon)

(i used lemon)

directions

1. combine sugar and 1 tablespoon hot water in the bottom of a pitcher.

stir to dissolve.

2. add jam, stirring with a wooden spoon

4. fill tumblers with ice, fill to the top.

serve with a lemon twist if desired :)

YUM!
