Celebrate the Little Things

It’s no secret – we enjoy fermented beverages around here.

My husband is an avid homebrewer. I enjoy his brews plus I enjoy wine.

Don’t worry – we don’t drink to get drunk – we are responsible.

Imagine my joy when I got the news that I was invited to join a SheSpeaks campaign involving WINE! Frozen fruity wine at that.

Bliss!

Let me just say that these are yummy.  It’s great to keep them in the freezer (it takes about 5 hours for them to freeze) so they are ready to go at a moments notice. You never know when family or friends will drop by to visit!

So, one night, the Hubs and I broke a few open to celebrate 3 boys sleeping at the same time.

Really, gotta celebrate the little things!

Yum!

Our hands-down favorite is the Merlot with blackberry. The Zinfandel with Strawberry is a close second. I like the Pinot and pear, but the Hubs isn’t a fan. His loss!

While I did receive several frozen wine treats from SheSpeaks and Arbor Mist, I have since purchased several more. We are squeezing every drop of life out if these last summer-ish days. Our calendars are full with evenings on the porch with our neighbors, a low-key family visit, a cookout, and a denim party (a new spin on “tupperware” parties).

I like how easy it is to open and squeeze out the frozen cocktail – no messy prep. No time away from guests. While each pouch is intended to be one serving, we were happy to share each one in smaller glasses (with silly straws, of course!).  I like the low alcohol content too – unlike many mixed drinks, I can enjoy the cocktail without worrying about getting too tipsy (it doesn’t take much for me at all).

I do wish that these did not use high fructose corn syrup in them as we are trying to cut that out of our diet and stick to natural sweeteners, but, as my mom says,

All things in moderation!

I mentioned previously the three flavors. Go ahead and click through to learn more about each one:

• Blackberry Merlot
• Strawberry White Zinfandel
• White Pear Pinot Grigio

The weather may be changing. School may be back in session. That doesn’t mean that summer is over! Take time to celebrate the little things – those are what real life is all about.

Keep some Arbor Mist frozen wine cocktails in your freezer and be prepared for those spontaneous moments of celebration!

How do you celebrate the little moments in life?

please drink responsibly!
