SUMMER BERRY SANGRIA
I made us a large pitcher of Summer Berry Sangria to celebrate the fact that we finally found an apartment! Woohoo!
I had already given up and decided to stay at my current (super expensive and tiny) Manhattan place when a realtor called me about this rental I had messaged her about a while ago. So we went to check it out (even though I wasn’t too thrilled about the place) and it turns out that because of miscommunication it was a completely different place and that was A-freaking-MAZING!
It was like the odds conspired for us to end up seeing (and getting) this beautiful apartment, which – by the way – is a HUGE 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom (aka unicorn in NY/NJ terms) and has a balcony and a walk in closet.
The only tiny detail I’m not crazy about is: it has an electric stove… *insert horror emoticon here*
I’m kinda freaking out since I like to cook with fire! But I’ll deal with that later! [If you have an electric stove, though, I would love to hear your thoughts. Especially if you’re going to say everything will be fine and I’ll end up liking it! :P]
So then we got home from seeing our dream apartment and the Middle Sister Moscato bottles that were sitting in our fridge looked at me like “it’s celebration time”!
Don’t mind if I do!
In one second I tossed together some fresh berries, strawberry liqueur (although I would have loved to use Chambord – raspberry liqueur – instead!), some agave and a whole bottle of this amazingly crispy and sweet Moscato.
After an hour chilling in the fridge, I added some Raspberry Lime Seltzer and my sangria was ready to party.
And just like that, the world was a perfect place, with unicorn apartments and delicious sweet cold sangria, and I was… just happy!
