Champagne on ice please!

The world renowned Moët & Chandon as come up with something new and fresh for the summer! They have created the first champagne that is best enjoyed on ice, introducing the Moët Ice Imperial. 
The maison recommends chilling the bottle to 7 'C (or 45'F), pick a large glass (like the cute Kate Spade champagne saucers above),  put 3 large ice cubes, add champagne, garnish with mint, ginger, berries or citrus peel, which ever you prefer. You could also put the garnish in your ice cube, for a fancy touch! 
Cheers!

Secret, fast, delicious sangria receipe

I'm going to share my secret Portuguese Sangria recipe with you, lucky reader! It's super simple, extremely fast, and even though it may offend hard core sangria fans, it's delicious and everyone loves it!

You'll need:
1 inexpensive bottle of sweet red wine
1/2 litter of Fanta ( Fanta is the best, but any orange pop or Orangina will do).
Fresh fruits sliced (Orange, peach, nectarine etc)
Frozen berries (optional)
Ice.

You'll have to:
Mix it all together, let it chill a little, just the time it takes  to tell your guests that you found this recipe on an awesome blog they should check out. And, bam, it's ready to enjoy!
 * This recipe is best enjoyed during a pic-nic, in these gorgeous Villeroy&Boch cristal glasses.


OK, now for you snazzy drinkers, here's a fancier recipe

1 bottle of merlot
1/2 cup of Grand Marnier
1/3 cup of Peach liqueur

Fresh fruits sliced (Orange, peach, nectarine etc)
Frozen berries
3 cinnamon sticks.
2 cans of 7up or Tonic water

Mix everything but 7up and ice, Let chill for 1 hour. Add 7up, ice, and remove cinnamon sticks.
Enjoy!
