Now that my husband and I are settling into our new home in Kansas City, Missouri, I am finding that I am more enthusiastic than ever to celebrate holidays. The 4th of July has long been a favorite holiday of mine here in the United States. It almost always falls on a hot and sunny day, the food is delicious, and you get a free fireworks show out of the deal! What’s not to love? This year, as we near the 4th of July, I am looking for ways to infuse a little red, white, and blue spirit into my everyday life. Enter this delicious and refreshing spiked elderflower lemonade, a quick and easy 4th of July cocktail that makes the perfect addition to any summertime celebration.

The Best Rosé Sangria Recipe

June 7, 2016

What came first, Musings on Momentum or my love for rosé? The two have developed and evolved hand in hand, like two peas in a wine drenched pod and are now intrinsically connected at the hip. I attempted to curtail my rosé intake during the colder days of fall and winter but now that the sun is out and the temperature is rising there is no denying me of my one true wine love.

Speaking of warming temperatures…do long and hot summer days just scream sangria to anyone else? My sangria intake goes up by 100% each summer and lately I feel like I have been whipping up a pitcher a couple times a month. It was only natural for me to branch away from the red and white sangrias I hold so dear and try my hand at a batch of the rosé variety.

This easy rosé sangria recipe combines the best parts of summer – freshly picked fruit, basil straight from my herb garden, classic lemonade, and, of course, rosé.

Warmer days call for rosé! This easy rosé sangria recipe combines the best parts of summer - fresh fruit and basil, classic lemonade and, of course, rosé.

It not only tastes amazing, it’s beautiful to look at too!
