March Madness is here, so let's get the ball rolling.
If a light, refreshing beverage is calling your name, put the Courtside in the game. She's ready to play.
As sweet as a spring afternoon, this cocktail is dangerously drinkable with its delicious fruit-forward flavor. The MVP's here are the fresh muddled berries, which can be enjoyed from your glass for more texture or strained out with a little effort. Vodka and elderflower liqueur make the perfect team while a touch of apple juice, lime and soda assist for the score.
Enjoy the Courtside over ice alongside your favorite game snacks. We're willing to bet this one won't get benched.
Add all other ingredients (except soda water) and shake with ice.
Open pour shaker contents or finely strain into an ice-filled Hybrid Cocktail Glass. Top with soda water and garnish with mint and berries.

Try This:
If ball-inspired cocktails are your thing, check out the Honey Deuce – the official drink of the US Open created by author and mixologist Nick Mautone – featuring vodka, lemonade, raspberry liqueur and honeydew melon.
You can also try the Courtside with gin instead of vodka for an equally refreshing option.
