The Best Boozy Bubbly Beverage for Summer 2017

Love | 06.16.17

I must confess, I am a bourbon and bubbly lover. My guy makes the best Old Fashioned I’ve ever had. It’s the perfect combination of Old Forrester, simple syrup, cherries, and an orange slice as a garnish that I love to put into the drink and devour as soon as I get to the bottom of the glass. When I’m hanging with the girls we’re a bit cliché but we love rosé and bubbly.

I don’t venture outside of my comfort zone. It’s just not something I do in life nor in the things I consume. I’m a creature of habit and live accordingly so I dared to live a little when I tried Bravazzi. I was naturally drawn to the product for the name. If you know my full name you’d think I was a fresh citizen to the country; my maiden name is Portaro so with the first name Bella I sound very Italian while it is just a fraction of my genetics but my Italian grandfather was the best man I’ve ever known and he so anything that makes me think about him, I love it immediately.

If you’ve followed my blog you’ll know that I am a Crohn’s and Colitis. I battle it every day. Some days are better than others but the good days are like a burst of sunshine and I’m out running like I’m a kid. Sunshine, laughter, music, art, food, and everything uplifting is what boosts me on those days.

Digestive issues has made me hyper aware of the foods and drinks I consume and what’s in them. Imagine my surprise when I found out that Bravazzi was all natural, zero high fructose corn syrup, no artificial flavors and colors. And … Drum roll please …. It’s gluten free with only six ingredients!! *Happy dance!* Just know that Bravazzi is an adult beverage so you have to be 21 years of age or older to consume because it has 4.2% ABV.

A few weeks ago I had one of those days but still felt a little sick so I didn’t want to push myself with any alcohol in my system as it would cause major cramps but being the hostess I love being, I made a cocktail for my friends as we sat poolside enjoying a beautiful Saturday in the sun that went well into the evening in chats about work, life, and of course we had a lot of fun.

Since my friends and I love bubbly so much I thought I’d surprise them with a cocktail of made with Bravazzi and prosecco on ice.. It’s bubbly, flavorful, and delicious. While I didn’t partake in consumption, I did have a sip just like any great bartender does from time to time with the creation process.

If you’re looking for a refreshing beverage for the summer, day or night, I highly suggest you try Bravazzi. It’s on my love list and you can try it in three flavors; Grapefruit, Lemon, and Blood Orange. I tried them all and each beverage was delicious and six packs are only $9.99! Bravazzi is available in Louisville, KY and Nashville, TN and coming to your city very soon! More deets are available via www.bravazzi.com.

The ingredients and tools. Super easy!
Split Bravazzi can between two glasses with ice.
Mostly Bravazzi because the bubbly adds to the existing spirits.
Top it off with bubbly.
As you can see, majority of the concoction is Bravazzi.
Stirring a beverage never looked so cute!
As my grandfather would say as he raised his cup I must cheers you just the same. “Al Salute!” Enjoy responsibly!

* If you want to try it solo, it’s just as delicious as the summer day drifted into night it was consumed without any bubbly whatsoever.

** Just as it was made with six ingredients and selected to brewed in Memphis, I hope you’re as responsible as they were when making it. Please don’t drink and drive, ever. It’s not worth taking the the live of others or yourself. **

✨ 𝓉𝑜𝓅 𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑒 ✨ Compared to ✨ 𝓉𝑜𝓅 𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑒 ✨ Compared to other years, 40 posts in 2020 is scarcity at its finest when compared to other years of me posting almost every day. The time away has allowed me to get through one of the darkest years, so many of us have faced. While I’ve historically turned to my keyboard as a release of hardships, I’ve been unusually reclusive as I’ve focused on a silent health challenge, family, friends, work, and school as a guiding light. ✨ 2020 was a year I never really wanted, but I learned much about myself and tapped on inner strength to push through. ✨ Therefore I must be grateful for the lessons I’ve learned. 🙏 2021, please be kind. The world and I need it. #thankunext #surviveandthrive #ciao2020 #topnine

The me that handles both anything and everything the world tosses at me. 🌎 The me that faces the world with eyes of possibility, creativity, and solution. 🤩 The me with a heart full of hope and a head full of beautiful dreams. 🥰 The me that floods others with kindness and love. 🌊 The me that knows my strength is my best asset because it paves the way for all of my dreams, much like a powerful currant like the waters can be. 💛 The me that knows it will be okay. Because this life is much like water, it never stays the same as it ebbs and flows. It’s a mystical cycle that reminds us how small we are compared to the big picture of this journey called life. 🤗 How refreshing is that ocean breeze. • 𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓉𝓉𝑒𝓇𝑒𝒹 • #writersofinstagram #wanderer #transformationtuesday #bellaoflouisville ✨
{ 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒷𝒾𝓇𝓉𝒽𝒹𝒶𝓎 𝒸𝒽𝑒𝒸𝓀-𝒾𝓃 } It’s my birthday week, and while there is so much happening in our world that impacts each of us in a multitude of ways, there is still so much I’m grateful for. • I have a loving husband, kids, mom, extended family, and my fur babies. • I’m in remission with my autoimmune diseases. While I still have bad days, the good ones overshadow them. • I’m growing my career with education to continue chasing my dreams. • I have a loving roof over my head, cozy clothes on my back, and inner peace about things I cannot control. • It might not sound like much, but for me, life has given me more than I’ve ever prayed for. • I’ve “socially distanced” myself IRL and digitally with COVID to focus on family and my faith. I’m re-emerging into the world with a renewed sense of contentment and optimism. I’m ready to shed the 37-year-old shell to joyfully leap into 38 with all the hope I can muster. ✨ Cheers to this wild journey we call life! 🥃 #anotheryearwiser #cheers #celebrateeveryday
