{bevvies} sarasota lemonade

yesterday i had an awesome time. i know- shocking, right? but seriously, any event where i can shop, drink, eat, and chat it up with friends is a good time no matter which way you cut it. so when my friend / former colleague / fellow blogger, madeline, sent out invites for a stella & dot party i was like- 'umm, duh, i'm in.'

stella & dot is an ah-may-zing jewelry line that i am seriously addicted to. pretty sure i wear a stella & dot piece every time i walk out the door. i'll be covering some of my faves and newfound purchases later this week, so stay tuned!

madeline actually went to her first stella & dot soiree this past summer at my condo. i called it cupcakes and cocktails, where i served, well, cupcakes and cocktails. like usual, in preparation for this event, i scoured pinterest for easy recipes and concotions to eat/drink. i came to the conclusion that nothing is easier in the cupcake department than box mixes (talkin' to you, lemon poppyseed and red velvet). however, i did come across a deliciously boozy bevvie, sarasota lemonade. easy, cheap, and yummy, everyone enjoyed the mixture and immediately re-pinned it while standing in my living room. it's that good.

sarasota lemonade

 

2 bottles Moscato
1 pink lemonade concentrate
Sprite to taste (more = less boozy, less = more boozy)
Fresh raspberries

 

i poured all of the ingredients into my williams-sonoma punch bowl and stirred.

then drank. and drank. and drank. yum.

 

special thanks to jes at the pampered jes for coming up with this drink. or finding it. either way, it's awesome! enjoy!
