Fandango Catering Offers 6 Mixed Drink Ideas for Summer Events

People are always looking for an unusual and good idea for a mixed drink to serve at a summer event, and today we offer several spritzer ideas that we want to share with you.

These recipes or spritzer blueprints appeared in an old Gourmet magazine (Gourmet magazine closed a few years ago, so sad to hear)--but it is true that people drank with much more panache back in the pre-2000s!

For your summer event, these "gourmet" spritzer ideas lend just the right touch of coolness and panache.
