So the gang here at Send Online noticed something interesting that we wanted to post about. Wedding season is in high gear up here. Our website sendbridal.com is getting really busy and we've been working our little hearts out to make sure that their wedding favours, cake knife sets and flowers are sent on time.
What we also noticed is alot of Champagne of the Month Club orders. And then we asked each other; Why didn't we think of that? What an awesome idea!
. A Champagne of the Month Club membership may be the most unique and thoughtful gift one can give to a newly wed couple.
The idea behind it is, since the couple was probably so busy at their wedding reception that they didn't get to enjoy their own champagne. The thoughtfulness that goes into this gift will be appreciated when they do get to share a glass of champagne, without having to stop for the wedding's social obligations.
I will also let them celebrate each month of their first year together with a toast to each other as well as to the gift giver.
Send Online’s Champagne club members enjoy the taste of Champagnes & Sparkling Wines from leading wineries of the world including Louis Roederer, Veuve Cliquot, Moet & Chandon, Piper-Heidsieck, Perrier-Jouet, Taittinger, Schramsberg, Bollinger, Pol Roger, Ruinart and Dom Perignon. Clubs are available in three, six and twelve month programs. Each comes with a certificate welcoming the newlyweds to the club and a new champagne to taste approximately every thirty days.
The Big Boss thought it was a terrific idea and is extending our wine club coupon to include all drink of the month club orders over $200.00. Customers who use the coupon code SEND20CLUB get $20.00 off their orders. This coupon is good through August 31st, 2009

Star spangled Weekend
We all had a great time at our supervisor's place on Friday night. The Tropical Itch was as tasty as it sounded and wow did it pack a punch!
The rest of the weekend found your blogger girl tasting different sangrias and wine drinks. Sangria is an incredible drink experience and everyone seems to have their own recipe for it. The traditional recipe calls for Red Wine, carbonated water or water with a citrus flavor, and fruit. Funny what people would call a sangria just because it has fruit in it.
One of the many parties I attended this weekend had a sangria which I swear had peachs schnapps and vodka in it, along with red wine (we're assuming for color as we didn't taste wine). I renamed it "Wrecking Ball" due to the globe shaped glasses they were served in that contained this concoction. Tad strong is what the guests declared. It's an old fashioned with out the mashing part......
For those of us that want to enjoy a sangria in the traditional sense, here is the recipe that most mixologists consider the basic:
1 Bottle of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja reds, Zinfandel, Shiraz)
1 Lemon cut into wedges
1 Orange cut into wedges
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Shot brandy
2 Cups ginger ale or club soda
Preparation:
Pour wine in the pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the lemon and orange into the wine. Toss in the fruit wedges (leaving out seeds if possible) and add sugar and brandy. Chill overnight. Add ginger ale or club soda just before serving.
Chilling overnight brings out the flavors best to ensure a wonderful drink experience.
Red wines, domestic and imported are all available at our Send Liquor website. The free ground shipping coupon is good until tomorrow when you use the coupon code (good til midnight on 7/7/09) SHIP4SEND. This coupon also gives you $15. off express orders for those who want 2 and 3 day shipping.

What's in a name?
A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet. But here the question is does a drink called Dark and Stormy would taste dark and stormy?
Not really. This drink recipe originally from Bermuda, was probably named that due to the color and carbonation that makes it look like a dark storm in a Collins glass. This is a light summer drink, perfect for those hot summer days or cool summer nights this year.
2 ounces dark rum
4 ounces ginger beer
½ ounce fresh squeezed lime juice
Pour ingredients over ice in a Collins glass, garnish with a lime wedge. Our product testers here at send online (a.k.a. the Send Online Customer Support staff on a Friday night after hours) tried the recipe using ginger beer and ginger ale. Ginger beer may be a bit hard to find depending on what part of the country you are, but the taste is worth the effort in finding ginger beer. It gives it a hot, spicy aftertaste that ginger ale doesn’t.
We recommend using a good spiced rum like Meyer’s or an Appelton Estates for authentic flavor. A dose of the Captain (Captain Morgan’s spiced rum) works well too.
