4 Fresh Summer Drizzles

4 Fresh Summer Drizzles to Elevate Every Bite

These “4 Fresh Summer Drizzles” bring vibrant flavor—and joy—to every bite. Made with real ingredients, each drizzle offers a unique twist you’ll want top all your favorite gluten free bites with!

1. Lemon Simple Syrup

Picture a syrup that’s bright and zesty, tilting toward floral sweetness and perfect for drenching pancakes or waffles. This Lemon Simple Syrup is all about balance—freshly squeezed lemon juice, granulated sugar, and a splash of water, combined and reduced until it reaches that silky consistency that clings to your favorite breakfast. The citrusy pop is refreshing on hot mornings and adds a cheery brightness to everything – mix with some sparkling water to make a quick lemonade or add some into your next batch of gluten free waffles for twist on a classic!

2. Raspberry Coulis

Next up: a lush Raspberry Coulis that tastes like summer in a spoon. Sweet-tart raspberries gently simmered with a touch of sugar and strained for that smooth, velvety finish. The vibrant color alone is enough to make your pancakes visually irresistible—but when you drizzle the lush red ribbon over a stack of warm cakes, it’s a moment. Rich in flavor yet light on the palate, the coulis offers a balance of sweetness and fruit-forward tang that feels both indulgent and fresh.

3. Zucchini Bread Topping

Then there’s the Zucchini Bread Topping—stay with me here, this one’s really tasty and different. Imagine combining lightly sweetened, grated zucchini with cinnamon, a hint of vanilla, and perhaps a touch of maple syrup, then gently warming it until it’s saucy but still textured. It’s drizzly and comforting, with subtle earthiness and home-baked warmth that uses the bounty of summer that is Zucchini season! Fill some of our gluten free crepes with this!

4. Rhubarb Compote

And don’t forget the Rhubarb Compote—arguably my favorite sauce of all time. With chopped rhubarb simmered with sugar (and a splash of orange zest, if you like), the compote brings gorgeous rosy hues and a lightly tangy depth. A spoonful over pancakes or swirled into cottage cheese brings a touch of nostalgia—reminding you of pie, preserves, and sunny brunches in the backyard with good company.

Why These Drizzles Work Together

What makes these four drizzles so special is their balance of flavor, texture, and visual appeal. From the light zing of lemon to the rich raspberry reds, the earthy sweetness of zucchini, and the rustic tang of rhubarb—they cover the spectrum of summer’s best tastes. Each one can stand alone, yet together they create a beautiful spread: spoonable, pourable, and utterly irresistible.
