recipe: strawberry lime rose sangria!



Ingredients
  • 1½ cups strawberries, hulled and sliced lengthwise
  • 2 limes, thinly sliced
  • 1 750 ml bottle rosé wine (I like Rosé of Sangiovese)
  • ½ cup white rum
  • 4 cups lemon-lime soda
  • Ice
  • Additional strawberries and lime slices for garnish, if desired
Instructions
  1. Add sliced limes and strawberries to a large pitcher.
  2. Pour the wine and rum over the top.
  3. Cover tightly and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (up to 24 hours).
  4. Remove from refrigerator and add the lemon lime soda. Add ice and a few pieces of the fruit to your glass and pour sangria over to serve.


This drink is the perfect for summer. I made it for a BBQ and lets just say . . . it was gone . . . rather quickly! Using a rosé wine over a red or white made it much lighter and not as overwhelming to the taste buds. Which is actually quite dangerous seeing as it tastes like juice! but alas , it makes you much happier then juice. I found this recipe through pinterest, which led me to discover the original blog. defiantly check her out and take a look at the other great recipes. www.kitchentreaty.com


Enjoy and Happy Summer! xx

where the heck have I been?

Greeting's Bloggersphere, 

Sorry I have been so MIA for so long, basically since January.  I'm in my first year of university (studying interior design) and lets just say the workload is insane.  I DONT CARE, I LOVE IT! ... Sorry, I needed to do that. Currently I'm in my last two weeks and am so excited for summer. I am in dire need of some TLC and am planning on blogging my booty off this summer! 

I've stopped doing Glossy box Canada postings because sadly, Glossy box Canada is donezo. kaput, no more.  Not too sure why but all good things come to an end I guess. 

Also, since the last time I've blogged, I've seemed to have got all my hair chopped off! I ended up donating 9 inches! it was quite a relief honestly, long hair is so beautiful but it was so much work to maintain. 

Seeing as I am just getting back into the swing of things I'm taking suggestions ladies and gents'. What do you guys wanna see on my blog? Im thinking some inspiration posts and topics perfect for the upcoming summer season. Which starts in 3 days, not that anyone is counting ... 

Happy to be back ,

Nicola
