In Minnesota, the heat has been almost unbearable. With highs reaching the mid and even high 90s and the humidity making it feel like something falling in the 100s, this late summer weather has been intense! People have been trading secrets to staying cool, but the most talked about option is not the most appealing - staying inside at work.
But wait, there is a better answer... THREE better answers.
- Better answer - Part 1 - Early Riser
- Better answer - Part 2 - Blueberry Mojito
The 3rd and final 'better answer' is this post, which includes Van Gogh Pomegranate Vodka. For the Sparkling Dutch Red Sangria, the crisp and authentic flavors of Van Gogh’s Pomegranate Vodka provide the perfect refreshment for a hot summer day.
So run - or slowly drive in AC - to the nearest store to pick up these ingredients. After this necessary errand, call, text or Tweet at your friends for a Cool-Down-Get-Together with this cocktail pitcher:
Sparkling Dutch Red Sangria
- 1 bottle Dry Red Wine
- 3 oz Triple Sec Liqueur
- 3 oz Van Gogh Pomegranate Vodka
- 6 oz Grenadine
- ½ Bottle Pomegranate Juice
- ½ Bottle Pommery Brut Royal Champagne
- 1 Orange, sliced
- Cinnamon sticks
Instructions
Combine the first five ingredients. Add Champagne and give a quick stir. Pour mixture over ice and add slices of orange. Garnish each glass with a cinnamon stick.
Hint:
Make this AHEAD of time so you can enjoy the party outside with your friends, right where you should be!
