Hey everyone!
Hope you all had a lovely Memorial Day, celebrating and remembering those who have given their lives for our freedom.
We had a very low-key day, just grilling, watching a Braves game, and hanging out. I did come up with a snazzy new sparkling drink, though, that I wanted to share with everyone for the next time you need a cool drink idea but don’t want to spend a fortune, because guess what? This drink only costs $2.50 to make! To me, that sure sounded better than $10 for a bottle of wine or sangria, and it was tasty and lo-cal, too!
So what is the mystery drink? White Wine Strawberry Lemondade!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 3 large lemons
- 1 mini-bottle of Chardonnay (the kinds you see at Walmart for $1)
- Pitcher of water
- 3 large strawberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
Directions:
- Fill a pitcher with cold, filtered water
- Cut the lemons in half, and cut off a couple slices for garnish. Toss them in the pitcher
- Squeeze the lemons into the water
- Add in the sugar and make sure you like the way your lemonade tastes
- Add the wine and stir
- Slice the strawberries for garnish
- Let sit in refrigerator for 30 minutes to absorb the fruit flavors
- Enjoy!
It really is that easy, and it looks very pretty, too! Your guests will love this sinless treat all summer long!
XO,
Amanda
