Only a week until July 4th! I’m sure for most of you this came up quick, which means you are probably not prepared for your
Independence day cookout! Well don’t worry, I got you covered. Follow these 3 simple steps and you’ll be ready for the 4th in no time.
1. Food & Drink. We all know there will be hamburgers and hotdogs involved in this years cookout, but why not spice it up a little bit with a few of these festive food and drink ideas!
- Star Spangled Sangria: This yummy and festive drink calls for 1 bottle of white wine (I prefer Barefoot Moscato), 4oz of vodka, 2 oz of triple sec, 2 oz of simple syrup and 6oz of sparkling wine or sierra mist. Mix fruit, vodka, and triple sec and let sit over night. When you are ready to serve, mix bottle of wine and simple syrup together then add in the fruit and alcohol mixture that had been sitting in the refrigerator overnight. Add a dash of sparkling wine or sierra mist, serve on ice, and enjoy!
