About This Blog

I enjoy new recipes...especially those that are easy. I always look for two things in the ingredients - a short(er) list and ones that I normally have on hand anyway. So if you are looking for something new to serve...look here!

I can't promise that the recipes will all be easy or healthy, but I do promise to try to add a new one every now and then that I have already tried myself.

The Sarasota


This was an easy summer drink to throw together.  I'd seen it posted on Pinterest numerous times and my sister-in-law made it one weekend for a family gathering.  So I thought it would be perfect for a summer party with my girlfriends.

The ingredients are super simple:

2 bottles of white Moscato (750 mL each)
1 12 oz. frozen pink or raspberry lemonade concentrate
3 cups Sprite
Raspberries


You will need a vessel large enough for all of the ingredients.  My go-to pitcher at home was too small.  So I actually mixed everything in a large stock pot and then transferred it into a pitcher and put leftovers in another container.

First, take a small container of raspberries, dump them into a bowl and crush the heck out of them.  I just smashed them with a fork for awhile.  Then put all of the liquid ingredients into your vessel.  Add your crushed raspberries.  Stir and chill.  Pour into a glass and garnish with more raspberries.

Yummy, yummy?  No thanks.  I actually am not a fan of white wine, so this drink isn't for me.  However, it received many compliments from the white wine drinkers!
