White Sangria Recipe Inspired By Bianca Jagger

This year’s Fourth of July celebration will feature a Sangria Throwdown on the boardwalk at Asbury Park, NJ. The healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic will be competing in both the white and red sangria competitions.

Mr. Divabetic’s diva inspiration for his White Sangria recipe is Bianca Jagger.  Bianca Jagger is known for being both the first wife of Mick Jagger and one of the most impeccably stylish women in the world. Bianca’s exotic beauty caught Mick’s eye at a party in France in 1970 and they married a year later in St Tropez.

Bianca Jagger’s beauty is a inspiring this cooler-than-cool sangria recipe dripping with ’70s glamour.

Here’s how you can make cheap wine taste ‘chic using these ingredients:

1 1/2 liters bottle of Casa del Toro Savignon Blanc

1 bottle of Jaume Serra Cristalino (brut)

1/2 cup of Motezuma of Triple Sec

1/2 cup of Blansac French Brandy

2 cups of Low Calorie Apple White Grape Juice Drink

Mix ingredients. Add ice. Chill glasses and garnish with sliced apricots and golden delicious apples. (I like to pre-soak my fruit for 2 hours in brandy prior to mixing.)  Top off each glass with a pineapple ring for added pizazz.

Raise a glass of this Studio 54 Sangria at your 4th of July celebration while decked out in glittering sequins and an exquisitely tailored white YSL trouser suits like Bianca herself. Enjoy!

Easy Ways To Add Flavor Without The Fat To Your Barbecue

Sprinkling vinegar on a salad or spreading a bit of horseradish on a sandwich can bring healthy flavor to a diet for type 2 diabetes.

Enhancing your food’s flavors through condiments and spices is key to enjoying a healthy type 2 diabetes diet. But before you reach for the ketchup and mayo, know that some choices are a lot better for you than others. You’ll also benefit from learning how to read nutrition labels and measuring servings carefully. “Most important is portion control,” says registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator Constance Brown-Riggs, author of The African American Guide to Living Well With Diabetes. “Condiments should be used to enhance the flavor of food and not serve as the main course.” Here are the facts on the most popular condiments and spices to help you choose.
