🍋 Backyard Bliss & Limoncello Spritz Vibes
When life gives you lemons… you know the rest. But this summer, I’m taking that advice quite literally with a Limoncello Spritz in hand and my backyard turned into my new favorite happy hour spot. 🥂🌞
Sometimes all you need is a little sunshine, a citrusy cocktail, and a cute outdoor setup to feel like you're living in a summer magazine spread. (BRB, @betterhomesandgardens + @hgtv — your next backyard feature is calling!)
🍸 The Star of the Show: Limoncello Spritz
This cocktail is the definition of easy and refreshing — like an Italian vacation in a glass. Here’s how to make one for yourself:
Limoncello Spritz Recipe:
2 oz Limoncello
3 oz Prosecco
Splash of sparkling water or club soda
Ice
Fresh lemon slices + mint for garnish
How to make it:
Pour everything over ice in a large wine glass or spritz glass, stir gently, and garnish with lemon wheels and a mint sprig. That’s it — sunshine in a sip! 💛
🌿 Backyard Glow-Up Tips
If you’re craving that dreamy outdoor setup but don’t know where to start, here are a few quick ways to upgrade your backyard into your own personal oasis:
✨ String Lights – Instant ambiance once the sun sets.
🪑 Cute Bistro Set or Lounge Chairs – Perfect for sipping + scrolling.
🕯️ Citrus-Scented Candles – Keeps the bugs away and smells like summer.
🪴 Potted Herbs or Flowers – Add a fresh, garden-y touch (bonus: mint for your drinks!).
🎶 Chill Playlist – French café or bossa nova vibes are always a win.
🥂 Make Your Own Moment
You don’t need a fancy vacation or big event to feel like a main character — just a cold cocktail, a sunny spot, and a little creativity.
This summer, I’m all about creating little moments of joy right at home. Whether it’s a solo spritz, a backyard picnic, or just five minutes of sunshine on a Tuesday, it counts.
