Fatty’s Summer Sangria

June 17, 2013
Fatty's Summer Sangria

I love white wine.  It’s probably the only alcoholic drink – besides Brian’s Marquisritas – I know I’ll love when I go out.  That’s why when Brian said we would post these summer recipes, I knew I had to get a white wine sangria on the list.  And that’s where Fatty’s Summer Sangria came into play. What’s great about Fatty’s Summer Sangria is you can use any white wine you’d…

Winter White Sangria

December 10, 2012

Note: If you’re going to make this sangria, make it 4-24 hours in advance to let the fruit marinate.  The longer the better 🙂 I needed a sangria recipe for the holidays, and I wanted to try something a little different.  The Fall Sangria is delicious.  It’s full, has body, is sweet, won over our friends, but was not a hit with the older adults in my family.  I made this sangria…

Fall Sangria

October 22, 2012

A summer fav, Sangria is a popular wine “punch.”  It first started with the Romans (around 200 B.C.) when they arrived in Spain, planting vineyards as they conquered the country.  But it wasn’t until 1964 that Sangria made an official appearance in the United States when it was brought to the World’s Fair held in New York City.  Today, sangria is enjoyed around the world in restaurants  bars, and even at…

So, naturally, I needed to try to make these myself… Ingredients: 4 Mangos 1 Bottle of champagne I’ve never cut mangos before.  I discovered that they are 1.) slimy and 2.) hard to cut.  Be sure to peel them so that you’re…

Red Wine Spritzer

August 23, 2012

I am a lover of red wine. White wine, not really a fan.  When someone told me they put red wine in the fridge, I looked at them like they were crazy – red wine shouldn’t be cold… Then I learned about this lovely drink I saw on my friend’s Instagram: [recipe] Red Wine Spritzer Red wine (we used a Cabernet) Lemon-Lime soda (aka Sprite) Ice Cubes (3?)

Frozen Margarita [aka The Marquisrita]

July 30, 2012
The Marquisrita

Sometimes you just want a good, frozen margarita. Why not try out this easy recipe for my famous Marquisrita. That’s pronounced Mar-Key-Rita, and said just as fast as margarita. Did I lose you? I can’t take the credit for this perfect name, that credit will have to go to our friend, Mike. What’s great about a frozen margarita is it’s simple to make and refreshing. It’s a very basic “1,…

Frozen Strawberry Lemonade Margarita

frozen strawberry lemonade margarita

One of my new favorite recipes! To get your homemade, frozen strawberry lemonade margarita, just follow my recipe below for a whole pitcher. These are best enjoyed on hot, humid, summer days when the sun is just approaching golden hour. The Marquisrita, while a simple, frozen lime margarita, was not the one that inspired the name. Yes, multiple pitchers and time contributed to the named margarita. However, it wasn’t until…
