Spiked pink lemonade

You know when you go to a crowded bar, and all you want is a fizzy/pretty cocktail, but you have no idea what's on their cocktail menu, so you just freak out, finally get the bartender's attention + order a white wine?

*takes a breath*

Yeah, I hate that because that's often me.

But if I could really take a step back + choose any cocktail to order, this spiked pink lemonade would likely be it.

This is a refreshing sipper for the summer--it's lemonade, it's white wine + it's slightly bubbly. At the end you have a beautiful (+ cold!) cherry to enjoy too.

And frankly, this would be perfect for July 4th. Not that I planned this post that way...
