The official start of summer is a month away, but the unofficial start of summer starts this weekend in honor of Memorial Day. I’m so excited because summer brings longer days, warmer weather, and barbecues! Barbecues mean there will be a lot of entertaining at our house. I always try to give guests an unexpected surprise, such as a signature dish or drink they will go home talking about. To celebrate the unofficial start of summer, I’ve made this summer sunset wine chiller that can be made and chilled hours before the party starts. Enjoy!
Ingredients (This recipe serves four, so make adjustments as needed)
1 Large Mango, Peeled, Pitted, Diced
1- 15.25 Oz. Can Pineapple Tidbits
10 Large Strawberries, Stems Removed, Sliced
2 Oz. White Wine Per Drink
Directions
Strain juice from pineapples. Freeze mango, pineapples, and strawberries.
Remove fruit from freezer. In food processor, blend mango, pineapples, and one ounce of wine for each serving on low for 30 seconds or until texture is smooth. Scoop mixture into bowl.
In food processor, blend strawberries and one ounce of wine for each serving on low for 30 seconds or until texture is smooth.
In a highball glass, scoop strawberry mixture halfway into the glass. Layer the mango and pineapple mixture on top of the strawberry mixture.
Garnish glass with pineapple and strawberry slice and serve chilled.

Oh this looks so refreshing, here in Louisiana summers are so hot and humid this would aid greatly in some late day relief. Creating a new Pintrest board to pin this on called Ahhh Refreshing.

Perfect timing! This looks fantastic (better than the glass of wine I’m drinking right now, and it’s pretty fantastic). I stocked up at my favorite winery yesterday. I’m going to try this with strawberry wine. Thanks for sharing!
