Rosemary-Citrus Spritz

Winter is all about getting cozy and entertaining. My favorite part? It’s CITRUS SEASON PEOPLE. Yes, believe it or not, but citrus is actually at it’s peak during the winter and it is my go-to cocktail when I’m entertaining. I teamed up with ALDI to create a cocktail to sip on all winter long, using ingredients and supplies from their store (how cute of these stemless champagne flutes tho?!).
