IT'S FIVE O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE: Andean Solstice Fusion

Written By Liz Hensel - Content Coordinator

When it comes to the holidays, my absolute favorite thing is that everything sparkles! Much to my husband’s dismay, I am a glitter gal. Therefore, it was so much fun creating this cocktail to bring a little glitter to the drinks this holiday season.

Inca Gold Wine is a sweet table wine that is fused with passionfruit and mango, the two most popular fruits of Peru.

Andean Solstice Fusion

Ingredients:

1 bottle of Inca Gold Wine

1 can of Cranberry Juice

1 bag Cranberries

Fresh Rosemary

Ice cube trays

Edible gold glitter

Instructions:

  1. Grab your ice cube tray and put two to three cranberries in a slot, add the rosemary on top, and then cover with cranberry juice.

  2. When ready to serve, grab a wine glass, and pour Inca Gold Wine at the halfway mark.

  3. Add two to three infused ice cubes.

  4. Add a dash of the edible gold glitter.

  5. Swirl and ready to serve.

 
Note: I let my tray freeze overnight to get the most potent taste.

Liz has been living in the Stafford area for the last two years. However, her ties are rooted to Virginia, as Virginia was her first duty station while she was on active duty with the Marine Corps. Her husband is still on active duty, and they hope to make Stafford their forever home with their two daughters and two rescue dogs.

While serving in the Marine Corps and Marine Corps reserves has allowed Liz to see all parts of the country and the world, there is truly no place like home. Working on this magazine gives Liz the opportunity to meet her neighbors and the local businesses and more importantly, she gets to showcase them to others.

Liz is also the founder of a nonprofit called Leave No Paws Behind USA. She led the campaign to have legislative change to include pet transportation fees included in military moves. With her leadership, the bill was passed in the FY23 National Defense Appropriation Act.
