Homemade Strawberry Shortcake Recipe with Wine -- Talk about a happy hour dessert! The secret's in the sauce...
It's that time for the Recipe Redux Crew!
This seriously could have not been a better theme for this month.
A Spirited ReDux
From plain Jane vanilla extract to fancy-pants elderflower liqueur, we like to keep a little liquor in the kitchen. Show us how you like to cook, bake or mix-it-up with spirits, extracts and other alcohols. A splash of vodka makes summer sauces shine – and liqueurs brighten desserts: What’s your healthy recipe with spirit?
Can you guess what I was thinking? You guessed it. WINE! Are you really that surprised? Me neither.
While my go to recipe for wine usually consists of 1.) Open Bottle 2.) Pour into glass. 3.) Consume. 4.) Rinse. Lather. Repeat.
I decided I should take it a step further this time. Just because I love you guys that much. I'm really stepping out of my comfort zone on this one.
And what better partner in wine crime to use than some fresh Summer strawberries. I can never eat enough of these gems while they are in season to last me all through the winter.
This isn't just any old strawberry shortcake. This is BOOZED UP STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE.
Sorry kiddos, you must be 21+ to enjoy this ride. The rest of y'all please keep your corkscrews and biscuits in the wine at all times. En-joooooooyy your ride!

Anything goes with wine! I actually don't drink that much wine at home when I'm cooking anymore. I do love going out for sushi and having wine. That's probably my current favorite wine pairing.
I would say wine is my favorite summer dessert as well. 🙂

Such a simple but great dessert! Hope you're having a great time in France 🙂

Wow this looks delicious, because usually shortcakes are so sweet, so this wine would be perfect for it instead of the typical syrup the strawberries come in! Haha by the way, just read your about me for the first time, and cracked up about all of it, especially not stretching after working out/running because I NEVER do. 🙂
