Enjoyed! Using Raventos i Blans Cava a Reserva Brut for the mineral water, using orange juice for the liqueur, and white wine for that option. Thanks Paula! -
This was awfully good! I made it with Cointreau, wine and sparkling water. As my strawberries were on the tart side, I added just a touch of simple syrup. Delicious! -
Lovely drink Paula! It wasn't too sweet, just right! I took the picture, but forgot to review. I made this with white grape-peach juice and orange juice. So good. Thanks! -
I made the non-alcoholic version (under-aged) LOL, and it was great. With crushed ice it was almost like strawberry slurpee. It was a nice addition to the Baked Strawberry Shortcake (#122195) Thanx!

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
