What is a Quick-Stir Pitcher Recipe to Pair with Fajitas for a Small Gathering?

[PamperedSD]

I'm not sure where to post this. I have a show coming up and would love an inexpensive recipe to make in the QSP that would go with fajitas. This is a mom's play group - they are doing their mom's night out at the hostess' house this month and she is having the PC show that night.

I have been doing a Farmer's Maket for a few months and booked several shows - this is the first one that has no rescheduled or flaked on me. But she called this week to say several people have let her know they can not come so it will be a small show - I had offered to do a drink with her recipe. I normally do the Slap Your Mama Margaritas but for a small show I'm not sure I really want to spend the money to buy all the stuff (I just moved and I'm out of tequila).

THANKS!!

My girls love raspberry lemonade but I had a hard time finding it in the stores. I bought regular lemonade, made it according to the direction and added a couple packages of raspberries to the mix. The girls loved plunging the raspberries.

Do you have a recipe? I love Sangria but am more of a white wine person and have never heard of white sangria?

SLAP YO MAMA MARGARITAS!

1 can Corona beer
2 Cans Sprite
one 12 oz can of frozen limeade
8 oz of tequila

You'll need to make about four batches, since this stuff GOES fast and has been the reason I've booked future parties! Good luck!

(P.S. Got the recipe on here!)

 

[PamperedSD]

Thanks for all the great ideas!!! I'm not sure which one to use - I'll post once I figure it out and let everyone know.

Sorry about the late reply. Here is the recipe my hostess used:

<quoted from her e-mail>
This is the recipe I used for sangria with a few changes. I used Riesling (two large bottles so I increased the sugar amount some and dissolved it in a little boiling water before adding), ditched the citrus fruit and used peaches, nectarines and strawberries. Chilling (fermenting) overnight is best and add seltzer or ginger ale to taste when serving. We used maybe 2/3 sangria 1/3 seltzer...

Great recipe! Thats a lot of vodka - I take it this is for the Family size? Have you had them do you like them? I would love to use this at for my 3day Walk Fundraiser show coming up. Maybe with an easy dessert?

[TWine120]

Yes! This is for the Family size! I have not had them myself, but my Director has made them at several shows and raves about them! She says you can barely taste any alcohol in them at all.

 

[PamperedSD]

Thanks!! Now I just need to find an easy and cheap Italian drink to make with our great new recipes. Thanks everyone.

This is a recipe I came up with at home. It went over well at a dinner after a funeral. It sold three family size pitchers.

1 container of Crystal Light peach iced tea
1 can no sugar added peaches
Water

Pour Crystal Light peach tea into family size pitcher and fill pitcher with water. Pour peach juice from can into pitcher. Cut up peaches in small bite size pieces. Add to pitcher and mix well. Tastes great!

I've made this with peach Vodka for an alcoholic version.

White Sangria:

1 small can no sugar added fruit cocktail
3/4 can peach schnaps
1 bottle white wine of choice (I use an inexpensive pinot grigio)
Lemon-lime soda (I prefer diet 7-up)

The Mock Berry Mojito's on the PC website are AMAZING. We love them with or without clear rum. And you get to show off other products, as well. You have to chop the mint, microwave the sugar and water in a microcooker, strain the mint with the lid of the microcooker, use the ice cream scoop, use the measuring cups, show off the citrus press, and of course, the family size quick-stir. It's a HIT at all my shows with fajitas. Mock Berry Mojitos
Ingredients:
3 cups (750 mL) water, divided
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) sugar
2 cups (500 mL) fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped
2 cups (500 mL) strawberry or raspberry sherbet
1 cup (250 mL) lime juice (about 7-8 limes)
8 cups (2 L) club soda, chilled
Lime slices and mint sprigs for garnish (optional)
Directions: 1. Combine 2 cups (500 mL) of the water and sugar in Large Micro-Cooker®. Microwave, covered, on HIGH 4-6 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Stir in mint leaves; let stand 5 minutes.
2. Combine sherbet, remaining water and lime juice in Family-Size Quick-Stir® Pitcher. Carefully pour sugar mixture into pitcher, straining mixture through small holes of micro-cooker lid (discard mint leaves). Cover; plunge until well mixed. Add club soda to pitcher; stir gently with plunger.
3. Pour mojitos into ice-filled glasses. Garnish with lime slices and mint sprigs, if desired.
