Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Fruity frou frou drinks are not my thing, usually because they're far too sweet. However, I've
noticed a trend toward using ingredients in drinks that are typically thought of as "savory" like basil. I
just came across a recipe for a basil and lime sangria that would be perfect for a Latin-inspired fiesta.
Pour 1 bottle of extra dry Champagne or sparkling wine into a blender. Add 1 c. tightly packed fresh basil, 1 Tbsp. freshly grated lime zest, juice of three limes and 3 Tbsp of honey or simple syrup. Blend until smooth and serve over ice.

I made this on Saturday for my boyfriend....he said he felt like he was drinking pureed grass (despite the encouragement I offered that this drink contained alcohol!). Honestly, I have to agree with him -- while I at least managed to finish my drink, it did seem quite heavy on the blended basil (think: thick, green and slimy). Also, beware - fizzy champagne and blenders don't mix!
