Happy 4th of July!
The grilling is done. The decorations are hung. Desserts are out for all to enjoy. Now for our summer time drinks. For the non-alcoholics, I suggest Tazo Passion Tea. It has a red coloring, just right for the festivities. The adults in the crowd may want to try Sangria...to which may I suggest this recipe I found online:
Sparkling Summer Strawberry Sangria
1 cup Limoncello liqueur
1 cup apricot liqueur
1 cup fresh strawberries, washed, hulled and quartered
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
4 ripe apricots, cut in slivers
4 key limes, thinly slices
¼ cup lime juice
1 bottle brachetto Italian sparkling wine, chilled
1/2 bottle peach sparkling cider
3 shakes orange bitters
whole strawberries, for garnish
If you’re starting your sangria a few hours or the night before you plan to serve it, combine the Limoncello, apricot liqueur, strawberries, raspberries, apricots, limes , and lime juice in a glass pitcher. Just before serving, add the chilled brachetto and the sparkling cider. Garnish the glasses with a whole strawberry.
Makes 6 to 8 servings
