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. **
