Jimmy Buffet was onto something with his song "Boat Drinks". Something about being outside in the fabulous weather makes you want to have a great drink in hand and enjoy!
My top picks for this season for beer, wine & bubbles for those 21 and over:
Beer:
Did somebody say grapefruit?
I don't love microbrew beers, so I was shocked when I tried Sea Dog Sunfish-perfect mix of not-to-hoppy-not-too-sweet with grapefruit flavors! This is a limited edition that sold out last season, so be sure to get it while you can!
Wine:
File under #roseallday
With the popularity of Rose, there is nothing better than a rose sangria! I reached out to our resident cocktail guru, our Beverage Director Eric Loring, who shared my favorite in-house recipe for your sipping pleasure:
4 bottles Rosé
8 oz Tempus Fugit Violette
3 oz Pilar Blonde Rum
2 oz St. Germaine
6 oz Fresh Lime Juice
4 peaches
5 strawberries
Prep: Macerate sliced peaches & strawberries in a bowl with a teaspoon of sugar sprinkled on top for an hour.
Combine ingredients in a large pitcher or gallon sized container. Chill overnight.
Glassware: Wine
Garnish: Sliced strawberry
This is a great recipe that can be pared-up or pared-down based on the size. Don't forget to freeze some in ice cube trays to keep your drink cool and minimize watering-down!
Bubbles:
Stay refreshed and bathing-suit ready with this refreshing, low-carb and gluten-free drink! Flavors include Cape Cod Cranberry, Valencia Orange, West Indies Lime, and Indian River Grapefruit. Great options to pack in your cooler on a getaway or when you need a mid-week mental escape!
