Let’s Have A Toast For Women’s Rights!
by Franco Salzillo
The American social reformer and activist Susan B. Anthony once said, “There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.” We’ve made some progress when it comes to equality, but not without a struggle.
There’s still a long road ahead, and both women and men must come together every day to fight for what’s right. Here’s a gorgeous drink recipe to toast for women’s rights, because I can’t think of a better reason to raise our glasses.
Toast Women’s History Month with a lovely Berry Baby Bellini, a berry-scented and fizzy alcohol-free cocktail. This is a colorful drink that’s both fun and memorable, the perfect concoction for our very special toast.
Berry Baby Bellini Recipe Serves 5, time 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup assorted berries: blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, or similar
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 bottle of sparkling apple cider, alcohol-free
- 5 flute stemmed glasses or tall glasses
