In a previous post I shared with you all that I dressed up as Jellybean for my sister’s 30th Birthday.

She asked that I make a cocktail for her – so a hunting I went in Pinterest for the perfect one for her.

I was inspired by this pin of Strawberry and Basil Sangria. When I went to the store to buy all of the things needed there was no Basil to be seen so I replaced it with Mint.

Ingredients:

• 1 punnet of strawberries
• 1 large pink lady apple
• 1/2 bunch of mint leaves
• 1 bottle of Chardonnay
• 1/2 cup low GI sugar
• 1 cup soda water
• 1 cup pink lady apple juice

What to do:

• Thinly slice the strawberries
• Dice apple into small bits
• Put all of the mint leaves in a bowl and stab away at it with a fork – the pin describes this in a much more refine way – but the gist is stab stab stab 🙂
• In a large jug place the fruit, sugar and mint. Let it marinade for 10-15 minutes
• Add soda water – gently stir
• Add apple juice and chardonnay – mix well
• Enjoy!

Take care, until next time…keep restyling!
