Uzo's Food Labs and Wilson's Lemonade Presents......

 

"When life gives you Wilson's Lemonade make...."

 

This series will be all about using Nigeria's first and only all natural lemonade in different ways with surprising yet totally delicious results. 

 

To kick off the series: When life gives you Wilson's Lemonade make Pink Lemonade Sangria.

 

Sangrias are great drinks to make that use extra bottles of wine you have lying around. Perfect to go with all kinds of meals and you can make pitchers in advance and keep in your fridge and relax with your guests rather than mixing cocktails to order. The addition of different kinds of fruits in whatever quantities and combinations that you like creates a different taste every time. What's not to love?

 

This sangria is made using Wilson's Pink Lemonade which has hibiscus flowers added to the original version. What you get is a pretty pink lemonade that is not as tart as the original.

 

To make enough sangria for 2 tall glasses, you will need:

• 2 cups Chardonnay
• 1 300ml bottle of Wilson's Pink Lemonade
• 1 large apple - cored and sliced
• 6 large strawberries - sliced

Directions:

• In a jug or pitcher, add all the ingredients. Stir well and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
• Serve in tall glasses.
• I like to make sure some of the fruit gets into each glass so there is a bonus at the bottom of the glass.

 



 

 

 

Double or triple this recipe to make more Sangria.

Spicy Mimosa

 

The World Cup fever has overtaken us all on this end. As a result of the time difference between Nigeria and Brazil, we are watching the matches into the early hours of the morning. This means little sleep, grogginess and messed up schedules. Who needs sleep anyway? Its manic I tell you.

 

Sexy drinks are perfect to mix for match watching and seeing as Brazil is all about sun and fun and evokes feelings of forbidden pleasures, this spicy mimosa is perfect for this season and its unexpected too.

 

To mix up a good pitcher full which will fill at least 4 tall glasses, you will need:

• 1 bottle of good quality champagne. Rose works even better
• 2 cups of orange juice. Not freshly squeezed. Good quality juice from a pack/bottle will work just fine
• Chilli/hot sauce - to taste

 

 

 

 

Directions:

• Empty the bottle of chilled champagne into a jug/pitcher
• Add the chilled cups of orange juice and stir
• Place in the fridge until ready to serve



 

 

• Once ready to serve, add a few drops of the chilli/hot sauce into a glass and fill with the mimosa



 

 

 

So simple and different but gets the taste buds popping.

 

Enjoy!!!!!
