Somehow, the unofficial start to fall has flown right by. Labor Day is over and September is here! Soon, stores will be gaining multitudes of pumpkins and that wonderful crisp chill will be in the air. I am always excited for fall and all the excitement it brings. But I know so many hold on to every last drop that summer has to offer, clinging to the memory of those warm, sun-filled days. One of my favorite parts of summer is the refreshing drinks that cool you off and pack amazing seasonal flavors. And what is more seasonal than this Venetian lemonade? This drink brings all the goodness of summer together: tart and sweet ripe lemons, crisp bubbles, and for a twist, a little almond syrup.

Ingredients

  • 1 lemon freshly squeezed (about ¼ cup)
  • 4 tbsp almond syrup (I use Torani sugar-free variety)
  • ice to fill glass
  • 1 cup club soda
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary optional (adds slight flavor)

Instructions 

  • Start by squeezing the lemon into a glass. Pour in the almond syrup. Fill the glass with ice. Finish off with club soda and a sprig of rosemary.
    1 lemon, 4 tbsp almond syrup (I use Torani sugar-free variety), ice to fill glass, 1 cup club soda, 1 sprig fresh rosemary

Notes

  • I love to garnish with a sprig of rosemary not only because it looks great but it adds a little unexpected (but welcomed) flavor.
  • If you want to add a little variation, a splash of amaretto or gin kicks the drink up a notch.
