There is no denying that we're in the thick of summer fun and when Hydro Flask sent one of their Growlers
to review on T.F.M. I was thinking about making a run to a micro
brewery to fill with a seasonal brew. My wife had other ideas, and
before I knew it she had whipped up a big batch of sangria to take with
us to a party that weekend.
So far I haven't gotten it back from her as the growler has been filled with what seems to be a perpetual batch of sangria. I am not complaining since this simple sangria recipe is easy to make, tasty, and the Hydro Flask Growler may be about the best way to keep liquids of any kind cold when headed to a party, the beach, the drive-in movie, picnic, and other summertime gatherings.
The Hydro Flask Growler isn't just a pretty piece of metal. This 64 ounce wide-mouth double walled vacuum insulated growler does two things really well and that is keeping cold things cold (and carbonated) for up to 24 hours and keeps hot things hot for up to 12 hours. That's pretty damn impressive.
As a side note we've found that the Hydro Flask Growler fits in height in all of our YETI Coolers (from the Roadie on up) which makes it the perfect choice for carrying along on trips as well.
As summer turns to fall I'm thinking the growler will be filled with a hoppy IPA or a hearty soup for a weekend camping trip. The Hydro Flask Growler has become an essential piece of gear to carry along on trips of all sorts.
SIMPLE SUMMERTIME SANGRIA INGREDIENTS:
- Two 750 ml bottles or one 1.5 liter bottle of an inexpensive white wine such as a Dry Riesling, Pinot Grigio, or Sauvignon Blanc. Don't break the bank and just go with whatever white wine is on sale that you like to drink.
- Peach Schnapps
- Fruit of choice
DIRECTIONS:
Pour both standard bottles or the entire 1.5 liter bottle of white wine into the growler. Add Peach Schnapps to taste or just fill up the growler leaving room for fruit. Add fruit such as pieces of peaches, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.
Enjoy responsibly.
