To see the official rules for Twenty-Nine Reasons to Love Rose Gardner, go here.
We’ve talked tea a bit in this giveaway, so what would this giveaway be without a pitcher to make your very own, OR perhaps you would like to try Denise’s favorite special ginger tea recipe. OR maybe you would like to try her white wine sangria? I’ve had both and they are so very yummy. With the pitcher you will receive a handwritten(by Denise) copy of her recipes and a box of passion tea.
Today I ask that you share with us a favorite summertime recipe for a drink. That way all of us win, because we get to try some new great drink recipes.
Here is my favorite drink recipe from: http://spoonforkbacon.com/2011/08/kiwi-capiroska/
Kiwi Capiroska
Makes 6
Ingredients:
2 cups kiwi, peeled and diced
12 mint leaves, divided
2 tablespoons sugar, divided
3 limes, juiced
2 cups high quality vodka
2 cups tonic water (or coconut flavored sparkling water)
ice cubes
garnish:
1 kiwi, peeled and thinly sliced
Directions:
1. Line six glasses up and fill each with 1/3 cup of diced kiwis, 2 mint leaves, 1 teaspoon sugar, and ½ lime juiced.
2. Muddle together the contents of each glass until fully combined.
3. Fill each glass with ice and top off with 1/3 cup vodka and 1/3 cup tonic water.
4. Stir, finish each with a kiwi garnish and serve.
If you don’t want to write it out and have a link to it that would be fine too.
