3 Budget Friendly Cocktail Recipes with Fun Wine®

May 22, 2020 by Alisha 1 Comment

*Must be 21+ to visit Fun Wine®* 

Remember back in the old days when you could just meet up with your friends and hit up your favorite spot for cocktails out on the patio?  Oh the memories of just a few months ago…

Seriously who knew that our worlds would be turned upside down and changed so much that our new normal has become what it is today!  If you’re like me then you know the show must go on but now it just looks a bit, shall we say…different?  Fun Wine® reached out to me  with three of their award-winning flavors: Red Sangria, Strawberry Rose Moscato and Coconut Chardonnay.  The best is that they are all low-calorie, low-alcohol and budget-friendly.  Artist and Designer Miguel Paredes brought his sense of New York Graffiti art to these three bottles and its like having my own little art gallery on display but on wine bottles.  Win-win!

I have three easy recipes that I wanted to share with you to add a bit of fun to your at home cocktails.  I ended up making Miguel’s Colada.  Took me just a few minutes to make and was so good.  I even played some Caribbean music while I enjoyed it on my pation.

 

Miguel’s Colada

2 oz Barcelo rum

Frozen pineapple or coconut

 Fun Wine’s Coconut Chardonnay 

Blend all ingredients until frosty and serve on a chilled glass

The next recipe is Chocolate Strawberry Negroni.  This one totally reminds me of chocolate covered strawberries!

Chocolate Strawberry Negroni

1 oz Aperol Spritz or Campari 

Dash Chocolate Bitters 

4 oz Fun Wine’s Strawberry Rose Moscato

Serve on rocks

And the last recipe just calls for a chilled bottle or serve over ice!  Can’t get any easier than that!

Which cocktail would you make first?  If you decide to try out  Fun Wine® be sure to visit them on instagram at @funwineofficial or their website funwine.com. Be sure to also tag #FUNathome if you share any pictures on social media too!

In Nashville, we’ve been having record setting highs.  So basically it’s not even officially summer yet and it feels like the pits of Hades outside.  Add no rain for over a week to this heat and its just miserable out there.  But one way to stay cool and enjoy a grown up treat is with a little wine slushie!  Now if you’ve been following me for any amount of time you know that I love me some wine!  One of my favorite sayings is “Everyone needs to believe in something… I believe I’ll have another glass of wine!”

Purple Toad Winery

February 15, 2019 by Alisha 10 Comments

Purple Toad Winery 2

Spring time will be here before we know it and one of my favorite things to do is go on road trips and visit wineries that are along the way.  It’s a great way to check out new wines and I’m not one to turn down a chance to support small businesses either.  You know just doing my part to help the economy…LOL.  Here’s a trip a took a few years back that I’m hoping to visit again this year.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Purple Toad Winery in Paducah, Kentucky.  Any time we take a road trip, one of the first things I do is to check and see which wineries we will pass on the way there or back home.  Several came up, but the Name “Purple Toad” just sounded like it would be a cool place to visit and the reviews on Yelp were pretty good.

Purple Toad Winery 1

Purple Toad Winery is located on the edge of Paducah, Kentucky.  The name “Purple Toad Winery” originated from the color of your toes when grapes were pressed the old-fashioned way.  They combine modern wine making techniques with old world knowledge to produce award-winning wines.  The winery is quaint and just off the beaten path.  Once we arrived we were greeted by Shadow, a black labrador, who quickly made his way onto the sun porch since it was so darn hot and humid!  Inside the shop there were several gifts and wine related items available for purchase.  Ian, our server, was so nice and handed me a listing of all of their wines. Since I would be driving home I decided I’d limit my tastings (which are free) to just four.  😉 [Read more…]
