Pomegranate Cosmo for #SundaySupper

Would you believe I almost decided to sit this #SundaySupper out. I couldn’t think of any holiday appetizers to make since I just covered a bunch last week. Then I thought, well I don’t need to do an appetizer, the theme is appetizers and drinks so why not a drink. Pomegranate came to mind as a winter/Christmas flavor and I just happened to have a bottle of Stoli White Pomegranate Vodka. So at 10:30 AM one morning I whipped up this little cocktail and then stuck it in the fridge to enjoy later.

If you are in need of some drinks or appetizers to serve at your upcoming holiday gathering. Check out all of the recipes by the #SundaySupper crew below.

Frozen Sangria for Labor Day #SundaySupper

Frozen Sangria - Crop - Supper for a Steal

It’s only appropriate that I post a yummy drink for Labor Day #SundaySupper. On Memorial Day I posted these beer margaritas which were both a huge hit with my friends and here on the blog. Blend up some of this Sangria and your guests may never want to leave.

After a few attempts I finally found the perfect ratio for this Frozen Sangria. Veering from the typical sangria I used rum rather than brandy, mainly because I had rum in the house but not brandy, either will probably work fine.

Beat the end of summer heat. If you are looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy while slaving over the BBQ this weekend, Frozen Sangria is the answer.

Frozen Sangria -- Supper for a Steal

Frozen Sangria
 
 

Recipe type: Drink
Serves: 4

Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cup red wine (I used Cabernet)
  • 1 ½ oz dark rum
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 3 rings of slice pineapple, canned is fine
  • 1 peach, pitted and skin removed
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • ⅛ tsp cinnamon
  • Ice

Instructions
  1. Combine wine, rum, orange juice, cinnamon, and sugar in a pitcher and stir to combine. Add fruit.
  2. Dump pitcher contents into blender. Blend to puree fruit.
  3. Unless you have a really big blender you will probably need to pour half the mixture back into the pitcher and work in batches.
  4. With half of the sangria mixture in the blender add about 2 cups of ice and blend. Add more ice if necessary.
  5. Pour in glasses and garnish with lime wedge.

The Best Margarita Ever for Memorial Day #SundaySupper

Best Margaritas Ever - Supper for a Steal 2

People have probably been making these for years, but I have just recently discovered beer margaritas. They are truly the best margarita ever and so easy you will never go back to premade mixes. They aren’t overly tart or sour, the beer tames them out a bit. I typically use Red Stripe, but that’s just because that’s the beer we usually have in the house. Any kind of beer will do. I can think of no better way to enjoy the beach and a BBQ than with this margarita in your hand. I made a quadruple batch to bring on our Memorial weekend getaway!

I prefer my margaritas on the rocks, but if you like frozen you can blend these up. Just don’t put the whole recipe in the blender at once. The beer will cause it to foam more than normal and leak out of your blender. You are probably going to want to pick up more than one can of limeade, these are that good!
