Cherry Mojito recipe

This Cherry Mojito recipe is one for those favorite summertime beverages of mine. It’s SUMMER and this is the time of year where me and my partner kind of live off refreshing cold fruit beverages. 

We hardly ever put sugar or sweetener in our Mojitos.

That is because we use fruit and tonic water to make them.

Which sweetens it up perfectly, you can make this with or without the alcohol, totally up to you.

If the sugar from the fruit and soda is not enough for you, then feel free to add a flavored syrup of your liking or 2 tsp of sugar.

Also you can use club soda in replace of the tonic water, but it will be less sweet.

Now sit back and enjoy the tastes from Havana, Cuba, where the birthplace of the Mojito originated from. 

 
 
 

Wine Slushie recipe

Fruity and bursting with delicious flavors, this Cherry Red Wine Slushie recipe is actually pretty good for you too, so drink up!

This Cherry Red Wine Slushy goes well paired with steak, chicken or pasta.

And is something that can be enjoyed year round.

Cherries freeze well once they have been pitted. 

So each summer I will freeze a bunch of cherries. And place them into freezer bags and store them in my freezer for year round enjoyment.

Who would not want wine slushies and smoothies year round?

Just say I 🙂 

HOW TO MAKE CHERRY RED WINE SLUSHY 

  • You’ll want to start with a bottle of your favorite RED WINE. 
  • A bottle of Sprite or 7 UP
  • Lime
  • Vanilla extract
  • And some frozen cherries 

Simply blend everything together then add some sprite and serve!

Easy peazy and so delicious! 

Pair this with a nice steak dinner or lamb shank and your going to be in for a nice evening alone or with someone special. 

IS CHERRY WINE SLUSHIES HEALTHY

Red Wine in moderation is healthy.

And well we all know cherries are packed full of fiber and antioxidants so that is a given. 

Did you know that one cherry has 3 grams of fiber, which aids in digestion, lowers cholesterol, controls blood sugar and can help with weight loss.

Also cherries are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium, protein and iron so eating these often is a smart thing to do. 

So why not pair them with some red wine too? 

Red wine has flavonoids in it has  proven to be heart healthy so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. 

The type of red wine you use is all about personal preference.

So please go ahead and experiment with your favorites for this one!
