HARU: The White Sangria

Haru! The White Sangria is an undeniably epic slam dunk of a beverage that will leave you side-eyed and smiling this summer: it surpassed my expectations the way Beverly Hills Ninja couldn’t.. It made me shoot the couch and love a coat.

However, we can not hate 100% on the sinister Sally Jones who clearly destroyed the integrity of this film because it reminded and/or introduced us to musical rubies such as Baltimora “Tarzan Boy” and The Ulfuls ”Tsugihagi Boogie Woogie”.

Now go blast some Armik, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Benise; sharpen your least pathetic knife and loosely follow these chores in order to impress the palates of yourself and your friends.

Ingredients

  • 2 bottles of bone dry white wine (Sauv. blanc or Frascati)
  • 2-3oz. of Elderflower liquor (or cucumber vodka, or nothing)
  • 1 cup of peach nectar (or not)
  • 1 cucumber
  • 2 nectarines
  • 1 pear (preferably bosc)
  • 1 apple (preferably pink lady)

Note on the preferred fruit varieties: Shopping at Fairway has revolutionized my opinion of fruit and the depth of differences and flavors among different varieties at no ridiculous cost. Find a dope supermarket and make friends with the produce.

Instructions

  1. Pour wines, liquor and nectar into socially acceptable receptacle
  2. Peel and dice everything else; add to liquid
  3. Let sit (1 hour room temp, 3 hours fridge)
  4. Ladle and love the shit out of this drink.

RADIOHEAD GETS MIXED INTO “STREET SPIRIT ‘12”

In honor of the long anticipated U.S. Tour, I shook up Radiohead’s beloved discography into this libatory by-product appropriately entitled Street Spirit ‘12

 

Now, the double stacked cubes look insane, however, they functionally forge and provide a sensational rest for your top lip and nose while sipping the same type of sensory overload these seasoned English heavyweights still bring us.
