With Instagram as its witness, the new summer cocktail of choice has been and continues to be the Spritz and Destination Hotels is pleased to share its unique take on the best summer spritzes from properties coast to coast. These cold, crisp drinks are the best way to feel refreshed in the summer heat, and even becoming Chelsea Handler’s new go-to cocktail (move over, Vodka Soda!).
Cheers!
