THE DREAM DRINK



The Dream Drink

THE DREAM DRINK
In a large pitcher combine the following:
1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup vodka
½ cup St. Germain
1 ½ bottles white wine
Chopped apples

When you’re on vacation, life can be like a dream. You don’t know what’s going on in the news, you don’t pay attention to the weather forecast, you forget about work and every day is Saturday — complete with cocktails.

Today was a Monday, but it didn’t seem like one to me. It was more like a dream day, full of beaching, boating and going out to dinner. The DREAM DRINK fit right it. Making it was a little nightmarish — all that alcohol made it seem like it would be a strong one — but one sip and I knew the DREAM DRINK was a keeper. To make it, Hubby put the ingredients above into a pitcher, stirred it well and served it with glasses full of ice. Floating apples make a lovely garnish. Grapes and mint leaves are other possible garnishes.

The DREAM DRINK was white wine on steroids and it was goooooood. It was fruity, but not sweet. It was strong, but only in the best possible way. It also reinforced for me the power of pineapple juice. Mix pineapple juice with any type of alcohol and, not only does it cover up the taste, it also instantly puts the cocktail into the tropical catergory. St. Germain and white wine make a great pair too and would probably be good all on their own.

Be sure to take a bit of the apple after the DREAM DRINK is drunk. It certainly livened up a cornhole game my family played in the rain underneath the beach house we are renting in North Carolina. It helped me win for my team, and to have sweet dreams.
