Okay, folks, gather around! Today, I’m gonna share my little adventure with the “Bel Air Drink.” I saw some buzz about it online, and being the curious cat that I am, I just had to give it a try.
First off, I tried to find this stuff ready-made. I saw some mentions of “Bel Air Beverages” and “Bel Air Drink Mixes” being delivered via some app called Instacart. They even offered free delivery on the first order. It sounded pretty sweet, but I couldn’t find any actual ready made drink, so I figured I should find a way to make it myself.
Finding Clues Online
So, I hit the internet to see what I could dig up about this “Bel Air” thing. I found a few social media accounts, but they didn’t really tell me much, just some follower counts, like 738 followers and 1,176 following. Not very helpful.
Then, I stumbled upon a description of a “Bel Air cocktail.” This one sounded interesting. It’s made with melon liqueur, honeydew melon juice, and sparkling white wine. They said it’s served cold in a flute glass and has about 2% alcohol. Seemed like something I could try to make.
The Belaire Rose Sparkling Wine
I also found something called “Belaire Rosé,” a sparkling wine from the South of France. It’s a mix of Syrah, Grenache, and Cinsault grapes. This stuff is apparently pretty popular in America, even though it’s from France. They say it’s got “gentle bubbles” and is great for special occasions or just chilling out. It’s got 12.5% alcohol, which is way more than that cocktail I read about earlier.
I thought, “Why not?” I’m not a big drinker, but I was curious. I grabbed a bottle of the Belaire Rosé to try, and I also picked up some melon liqueur and honeydew melon juice to make a version of that Bel Air cocktail.
My Taste Test
The Belaire Rosé was pretty good, I gotta admit. It was fizzy and light, and it did make me feel a bit fancy, even though I was just sitting on my couch. But here’s the kicker, I had to find a good sparkling wine for the cocktail because the Belaire is a bit too strong for me. It’s a good drink for celebration, but not for everyday drinking.
Then, I tried making the Bel Air cocktail. I mixed the melon liqueur, honeydew melon juice, and a bit of sparkling wine. I didn’t have a flute glass, so I just used a regular wine glass. It was pretty tasty! Sweet, but not too much, and the fizziness from the wine made it feel special. But the Belaire is too strong for this recipe, it’s better to use a 2% alcohol wine to make it. And it’s better to serve it cold.
My Verdict
So, that’s my Bel Air drink story. I explored ready-made options, found some recipes, and even tried a fancy French sparkling wine. In the end, I found a drink that’s refreshing, a bit bubbly, and perfect for a casual hangout. If you’re looking for something new to try, why not give it a shot? Just remember to drink responsibly, folks!
