I’m giving you a to-do list for the weekend.

And I’m not even the least bit sorry about it.

(It’s for your own good.)

(1) Get yourself one grapefruit, a few limes, and a bottle of Frontera Sauvignon Blanc.

(2) Juice. Mix. Stir. Shake.

(3) Siiiippppp. And feel all your troubles melt away.

(Or maybe that’s just sweat.)

(Yup, mostly sweat.)

Preferably from a fancy straw and a Mason jar glass. Because we are so effortlessly Pinterest-cool like that.

To be honest, I don’t consider myself much of a mixologist, but when I found out that Excelsior Wines had developed an ENTIRE LINE of wine cocktails (!!!!!).

Well. GAME CHANGER.

Because while the.boy and I have an admittedly poorly stocked liquor cabinet shelf, we always have wine.

And now we will always have Friday/Saturday/Sunday (wine) cocktail hour.

Consider me hooked.

Frontera Wines is actually the #1 Southern American Wine brand sold in the US, and no WONDER because it is sold at totally competitive prices ($10.99-$8.99 for 1.5L size, and $5.99-4.99 for 750ml), and it is tasty.

I plan on drinking these paloma blancas all summer long because they are the ultimate in sweet/tart/refreshing, but if sauvignon blanc is just not your thang, don’t even fear because they have enough Frontera Cocktail Recipes for every taste bud. And you’ll totally feel like you belong on Martha Stewart after you make them.

Life WIN.

  1. That sounds beautifully refreshing! I like a Paloma but sometimes that tequila is counterproductive to doing anything else.

  2. I flipping love how easy this…strangely enough, I already have ALL of these ingredients! We keep lots of limes and lemons in the house for baking + boozy things. I’m all over this.

  3. What? Why have I never had or even heard of a paloma?? So into this.

  4. Johanna GGG says:

    sounds interesting – never been into grapefruits but I am coming around to how refreshing they are on a hot day and this photo is enough to cool me down (not that I need it because the heater is chugging away nicely so I would probably appreciate it more in summer)

  5. Totally refreshing and tasty!
    Have a lovely weekend, Joanne.
