Cilantro Lime Spritzer

Cilantro Lime Spritzer

  When the spring and summer weather rolls in, I like something more refreshing to drink on the patio, but nothing too sweet.  This is as simple as it sounds, a spritzer made with fresh herbs and seltzer.  I like to experiment with different herbs.  This one is made with lime and cilantro.  Other combinations that work well are strawberry and basil, orange and mint, and lemon and rosemary. 
Try it out! The straw is paper and compostable :)

Tip: I love growing herbs on the patio, then I just pull what I need when I need it! 

Healthy tip; Cilantro is a great detoxifying herb, and so is lemon/lime.  Use it for liver support.

Ingredients:

• 2 sprigs of fresh cilantro
  
• Ice
  
• Seltzer water such as Perrier
  
• a splash of "limemade" or 1/2 fresh squeezed lime (depends on if you like sweet)
  

Recipe:

1. Fill the glass or jar with ice
   
2. Fill the seltzer and leave about 1 inch room at the top
   
3. Add the herbs
   
4. Add the splash of either juice or fresh squeezed fruit.  If you are using fruit you cannot squeeze (like strawberries for example), then muddle them a little in a bowl and add on top.
   

Refreshing!
