Strawberry Wine Punch
Do you have weeks where you feel like your head is barely above water? I’ve had that kind of week. It’s nothing specific weighing me down it is just lots of little things, normal life things.
On Sunday we went up on the mountain to go trout fishing. My oldest son had an overnight FFA camp to attend, so he didn’t go. It is dawning on me slowly that he is about to enter his last year of high school, which leads to graduation and the reality of my child becoming an adult.
I really don’t like to think about it but this week I can’t seem to get it off my mind. I struggle between loving that the boys are old enough to help on the ranch and wanting them to stay five years old.
I have had a bottle of Gewürztraminer wine in the fridge for a good while. Just chilling waiting for the perfect occasion. My sister-in-law told me about a Moscato punch she made for July 4th and I was inspired to try my own. Today was the day. I had some strawberry daiquiri mix in the freezer and went to mixing and tasting.
Okay, I did a little more than taste, this stuff was so good. It was like kool-aid for grownups and I will be making this for my next get together. A little reminiscent of Boone’s Farm but much better! I know you are going to love it!
Strawberry Wine Punch
1 bottle Gewürztraminer (750 ml), chilled (Moscato would be wonderful too)
1 10 oz can frozen Bacardi Strawberry daiquiri mix, thawed
1/2 liter lemon-lime soda, chilled
fresh strawberries for garnish
Directions:
Mix wine and daiquiri mix together in a half gallon container, fill with soda and mix well. Serve with ice if you wish and garnish with a fresh strawberry.
Enjoy!

I have lots of those weeks! This is a great cure! Looks wonderful & so summery.
Now I have Deana Carter’s Strawberry Wine song stuck in my head! This looks so yummy!
I LOVE that song!
Milisa- I’m sorry you having “one of those” weeks (and I hope it gets better), but I’m very happy that you made this recipe! It looks so refreshing…I can’t wait to make it!
LOL…365 for me love, the yang to my gypsy surf life. Love, love this punch!!
This looks wonderful and easy!
Mmmm…looks so refreshing!
I do have to admit I love a good wine punch. And my oldest is going into High School this year. A freshman. How did that happen. Gah!
Oh gosh, I could use a whole pitcher of this right about now. Yum!!
This is so beautiful! Love the concept and love the photos so much.
I love that this is made with moscato! you don’t see that too often in cocktails — gorgeous, vibrant red on this drink, beautiful and totally something I’d love to have
These would be hard not to double-fist!
I know what you mean – I’ve been having one of those months! My oldest will be ready for his driver’s permit this fall, and I’m kind of wishing he were 5 years old again too. Cheers to making through the week and hoping next week is better!
Love this punch and can’t wait to try it…soon!
Hello there! This post could not be written any better!
Reading through this post reminds me of my good old
room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will
forward this write-up to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read.
Many thanks for sharing!
