Sangria is a great year-round drink for entertaining. I love that there are so many types of sangria that can be made throughout the seasons. Although sangria is great in the winter due to all the delicious cranberries, I quite like it in the summer because there is always so much fruit! Back in the winter, Sonia made this awesome and super delicious Spiced Cranberry Sangria – I figured it was time for a new spring sangria recipe!
Happy Friday!! What better way to celebrate than with an adorable cocktail! It`s been a very warm and sunny week here in Vancouver. Temperatures have reached around 25 degrees Celsius the past few days, crazy right?! But hey I am not complaining, and instead celebrating with a refreshing cocktail! As I’ve said before, I love sour! Lemons, limes, grapefruit, you name it, I’ll eat it 🙂 Plus what screams summer better than fresh lemon aid! I not only enjoy putting these sour fruits in desserts (as seen in my Lemon Chia Seed Muffins, or my Tequila Lime Ice Cream) but also in my drinks! I’m a real Canadian girl and definitely love my whiskey and beer. It was only natural for me to make a fresh whiskey sour to combine my love of sour with my love of whiskey!
There is something about cucumber in a drink that I absolutely love. It seems weird right, how could a vegetable make a cocktail taste good? But it adds a sort of freshness that you don’t get from anything else. I love it in water as well. Grapefruit is something I didn’t start loving until recently and now I can’t get enough of. If you’re not a grapefruit fan, which I know many people aren’t, you may try substituting lemon or lime in this recipe. I think both would be absolutely fabulous.
Okay, I’ll be completely honest with you. I had planned on coming home and making something very delicious tonight and posting it for you all to see and try! Something fabulous has happened in the last week, we now have light at the time that I get home, which makes photo taking so much better! However, I just got home and have some sort of heartburn and headache going on and was not having it. If I didn’t have these ailments do you know what I would be craving? A Hump Day drink! So I’ve compiled a list of some of our most popular drink recipes in hopes to give inspiration for a hump day (or any day really) drink for you.
It’s the middle of winter and thanks to globalization, we are still able to get pineapple. Man how wonderful is that. I can’t even imagine back in the old days when you had to can all your fruits and vegetables in order to get the proper nutrition year round. Drinking this Piña Colada totally made me feel like I was in Hawaii, or just on some beach somewhere.
