Houstonist Bartender: Spring Fever

Last week marked the start of the Spring season. It's time to put away the winter coats, boots, gloves, and scarves. Wait, we're in Houston, right? So, it's actually time to put away the long sleeved shirts, jeans, and to shave away that stubble from your face (or legs as the case may be) that kept you warm on those lonely brisk 60 degree evenings. Break out the cargo shorts, polo shirts, sun dresses, and sandals. Spring is here, baby!

To commemorate the start of the new season, we present to you the "Spring Fever."

Spring Fever

+ 3/4 glass of Sprite
+ 2 oz. Grey Goose Vodka
+ 1 splash Chambord
+ 1 lime wedge
+ 2 raspberries

Fill a glass with vodka and ice. Next add Sprite then add Chambord to the top of the drink. Squeeze the lime slice above the glass and mix. Garnish with a few raspberries.

Have a drink we should spread to the masses? Send it along [bartender at houstonist dot com], and we just may post it after some extensive testing.

Don't be a dumbass. Drink responsibly or take a cab.
