We tried a new Barbecue drink at our last grilling session. Sounds really simple but tasted flipping great. Fizzy white wine with strawberry juice and strawberries.

The one down side is how we found the new drink. As I remember it a small food fight developed into strawberries being lobbed about and one ended up in Granny BS’s fizzy wine. Her being a fine wine aficionado she could not put such a tainted drink upon her delicate pallet and it was duly despatched to me to be hovered up.

I tried to fish the strawberry out but only succeeded in squeezing the juice into the wine and plopping he fruit back in the glass. I gave up and took a sip… it was really nice.

I passed it round the Barbecue attendees and everyone agreed it was the way forward. Two seconds later we all had one. Sitting there drinking fizzy strawberry wine whilst the red wine smoking BBQ woodchips gently wafted under my nose was BBQ Heaven and another reason why I Love My BBQ!

This has now developed into a regular BBQ drink. Here is how we did it again, squeeze some fresh strawberries into some fizzy wine and then plop the strawberry into the glass. Next step, drink and repeat the process until you cannot walk properly.
