Moscato + Strawberry Lemonade = ANOTHER delicious summer drink!
How about a glass of cold lemonade on one of those hot summer days? Lemonade is great whether you’re at a picnic, a backyard barbecue, sitting by the water, or out on a boat.
Moscato, along with lemonade, combine to make a wonderfully refreshing summer-time drink.
Make a simple syrup by combining the sugar with 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Place over medium heat and heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let cool.
Once the simple syrup has cooled, puree strawberries in a blender.
In a large pitcher, combine strawberry puree, simple syrup and lemon juice.
Add 4 cups of Moscato Wine.
Serve over ice. If desired, garnish with fresh strawberries and lemon slices.
Notes
You don't have to stop with strawberries! Try peaches, oranges, pineapples, whatever's in season!
White Peach Sangria with white wine, what a perfect spring/summer drink!
Sangria, traditionally thought of as originating in Spain and Portugal, is a great way to enjoy your wine on a hot summer day. (Although it’s pretty nice on a porch swing too, we hear!)
Sangria normally consists of wine, chopped fruit, a sweetener and some brandy. For a fruit, you can use: oranges, lemons, limes, apples, peaches, melons, berries, pineapple, grapes, kiwi, and/or mangoes. For a sweetener, you may use: sugar, syrup, honey, or orange juice. Finally, you can also consider replacing the brandy with seltzer or a lemon/lime soda.
Note: The picture shows a little red wine and blueberries thrown in the White Peach Sangria for color.
