First, I want to congratulate Cynthia for her healthy tip for SlimKicker! SlimKicker enjoyed your challenge of limiting internet use to work time in order to promote activity in the evenings, and they would like to thank you. Please email me at balancedforkhealthylife@gmail.com to claim your slow cooker prize! Thanks to everyone for your healthy ideas… I have some new summer challenges.
On another note… summer just begs for a nice cool cocktail, and my recent favorite has been Sangria. I love making Sangria because you can be really creative with the fruits and flavors. And, wine is gluten free!
Here are two of my recent Sangria creations, both using the fresh taste of ginger. One is red and one is white, and both serve about 6 adults.
Raspberry Ginger Sangria
In a large pitcher, add:
- one bottle red table wine
- 3 shots raspberry vodka
- 24 ounces of ginger ale
- 2 shots of apricot brandy
- garnish with raspberry ice cubes
Ginger Peach Sangria
In a large pitcher, add:
- one bottle white table wine
- 4 shots apricot brandy
- 8 ounces ginger ale
- 16 ounces peach seltzer
- garnish with fresh peach slices
Happy Allergy Free Drinking!
