Celebrate National Strawberry Month

Did you know May is National Strawberry Month? Here at Nectar of the Vine we love any excuse to celebrate, so we're celebrating strawberries all month long! Check out our tips below on how you can spend the month in a sweet strawberry bliss.

Pick fresh strawberries at your local farmers market or strawberry farm. Plan a fun outing to your local strawberry farm or farmers market and spend the afternoon picking your own strawberries. Make the day even more special and bring a picnic lunch, including salad or yogurt, so you can add your freshly picked strawberries to your meal.

Make a strawberry dessert. Use your fresh strawberries to make a delicious strawberry desert. There are many types of strawberry desserts you can choose to make, such as strawberry rhubarb pie, strawberry shortcake, strawberry cobbler, or the traditional strawberry glaze pie. Pick your favorite treat, top it with some whipped cream and enjoy!

Have a quick strawberry snack. There are many different snacks you can make with fresh strawberries. In the mood to satisfy your sweet tooth? Melt some chocolate and have chocolate covered strawberries. Want to go the healthy route? For breakfast, try a strawberry and banana smoothie with almond milk for a quick drink on the go. You could also make a bagel topped with low fat cream cheese and cut up strawberries. For lunch, boost your salad or plain yogurt by mixing in fresh strawberries for a quick and yummy treat.

Enjoy a Strawberry Daiquiri or Strawberry Rhubarb Frapp from Nectar of the Vine. In our opinion, the best way to celebrate National Strawberry Month is with one of our delicious, frozen cocktail mixes. Try a Strawberry Rhubarb or Strawberry Daiquiri frappé (or both) mixed with your favorite dry wine for a mouth-watering treat that is sure to cool you off in that May heat. Try mixing with your favorite dry white wine, such as chardonnay, or kick it up notch and mix with your favorite brand of vodka. Use our traditional freezer method, or if you're in a hurry, you can try our quick blender method. Top with whip cream, garnish with a strawberry and enjoy!
