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!
