Grab your bottle of Prosecco or Cava and get ready to mix it up this summer with our guide to making the best summer cocktails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below you will find 6 different recipes which are easy to follow and perfect for creating a tasty summer cocktail to share with friends, enjoy at a BBQ or just as a weekend treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elderflower Spritz
Fresh, fruity and slightly floral, elderflower has such a lovely, summery taste. With subtle pear, lychee and tropical nuances, it goes very well with prosecco. Try this cocktail recipe for a light flavour. And it\u2019s SUPER easy to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 1 \u2013 Fill a wine glass with ice. Pour Freixenet ICE and elderflower liqueur into the
glass.
STEP 2 \u2013 Top with cucumber and watermelon soda and lightly stir.
STEP 3 \u2013 Garnish with a cucumber slice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strawberry and Vodka Slush
This simple to make tipple, delivers on taste and has all the flavours of summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 1 \u2013 Mix one cup of strawberries, one tablespoon of sugar and one tablespoon of vodka in a blender. Blend and then freeze for around one hour so you are left with a slush.
STEP 2 \u2013 Add two spoons of the slush to a glass and top up with Freixenet Cordon Negro.
STEP 3 \u2013 Garnish with fresh strawberries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhubarb Fizz
This is pretty and refreshing cocktail that uses a ros\u00e9 fizz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may want to make the rhubarb syrup in advance: Combine 8 oz chopped rhubarb, 1 cup sugar, 2 cup water, 1\/4 tsp cinnamon, 1\/4 tsp nutmeg and 1\/2 vanilla bean in a small pot. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 5-7 mins. Let cool completely and strain the ingredients.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cocktail:
STEP 1 \u2013 Mix together a little bit of nutmeg, lime zest, mint leaves and lime zest together in a glass.
STEP 2 \u2013 Add 1oz of white rum, 2oz of your previously made rhubarb syrup and top up with Freixenet Cordon Rosado.
STEP 3 \u2013 Garnish with mint leaves or a thin slice of rhubarb works too.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
