A drink on us :0)

I've been thinking a lot about the beverages we will be having at our wedding. I've come up with lots of Ideas with many inspirations from   http://www.weddingbee.com/ , http://pinterest.com/ , and http://www.theknot.com/ . I so enjoyed my project searches! We will be serving a few differant alcoholic beverages. Mr. J and I do not drink but we have talked a lot about it and we have lots of friends and family that do enjoy it and....who knows we might just cut loose on our wedding day. So here are a few Ideas and Inspirations. 

I really like this Idea and my FMIL, Aunt, and Grandmother have quit a few of these

So there will be more of a selection . Here are a few recipes I've come up with.

Sweet Pineapple Strawberry Spa Water..Yum

~1 (large) carton of Strawberries

White Sangria

This sangria takes five to 10 minutes to assemble in a large pitcher. Take the time to prepare it in the morning so the sangria has several hours to develop its fruity flavor.

~1 lemon, sliced

~2 ripe peaches, cut into wedges

~3 ripe green apples seeded and cut into wedges

~1 pint raspberries

Sparkling soda water, for topping off glasses of sangria at the table.

Directions: 

combine sugar, Calvados, lime, lemon, peaches and apples in a large pitcher.

Cover with 1 bottle of Rioja wine and chill sangria several hours. To serve, spoon fruits into glasses or goblets, adding a few fresh raspberries in each glass, pour wine over top of fruit. Top glasses of  sangria off with a splash of soda water and serve

Cocktail that never fails

~1 bottle of wine for every 3 cans of Fresca, and fresh fruit..

Cucumber Lemonade

Ingredients:

~1 cucumber thinly sliced 

~1 (12 ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate

~1 (2 liter) bottle of lemon-lime carbonated beverage

Directions:

Put the cucumber slices in to large picture, pour Lemonade concentrate over cucumbers and allow to sit for 10 min. Pour in the lemon-lime soda and serve. 

Do not forget the beer on tap:0)
