Punch of Passion






Are you ready?? Cause I am Going to share with you a lovely splash of refreshment… Or no truth is-- A PUNCH of passion! Oh baby!

Passion Fruit Sangria!



You got that right.
All about the passion tonight.
I love Sangria. Its such a beautiful bouquet or aromatic fruits and citron flavors.
Its one of my favorite beverages to Swamp up. You know swamp with style that is. Little of this and a jug of that.. Perhaps a bottle of this… and splash of that! --- It is not highly alcoholic- so it’s a beverage you really simply can just pound back on a hot summer’s day. But be smart drink in moderation for the appreciation and the beauty in this baby. Cheers to that.

Sangria originating in Spain/Portugal region. Did you know that sangria actually means BLOODY?
SO really what I am going to share with you is a Bloody Passion Punch.Ah bloody!
You got that? Good. Some bloody passion. In a punch... look out here it comes!

--- Ok Inspiration and outline of Divine SURE Fine Sangria. Passionfruit SANGRIA---

Bottle of red wine. Fruity wine is best- perhaps a Cabernet sauvignon – a nice fruity “jammy” one- ( I will be honest and I used up half of an old bottle of very awful red I found here at the house- so awful I could not even drink it on its own- also why I had the desire and no choice really BUT to make Sangria. So like I say Sangria is also very good for swamps- because you really can get rid of some not so great ok Disgusting wines…..phew!)

Passion fruit juice. Passion fruits are so beautiful. Just the coloring and the detail of this fruit- if you were to hold this baby in your hand – purple skin and glossy yellow centre with gummy black seeds in the centre. So so juicy. They are extremely hard to come by in the local grocery store- That’s why they are Called Exotic baby. The nectar is so potent and so sweet. Almost like a cross between pineapple, pomegranate and sweet California orange juice in my opinion. The best part about a passion fruit is the passion flower also on the same plant. You will see the passion flower in my first picture. A very exotic fruit comes also with a very exotic flower.

Few shots of lemoncello- lemon liquor- ads some hearty tarty to it- (most sangrias use brandy, rum, or triple sec)

Gingerale finishes off the drink with some zip! A bit of a bite. Sweet but sharp finish in the mouth. Gingerale really adds to the PUNCH part.

Garnish with fruit- tonight I used oranges, some strawberries (obviously….. come on now...) lime, and hugged a pretty watermelon hunk on my glass for ultimate attraction meets the eye- having a bit of the melon is kinda like and an appetizer in-between sips to refresh the pallet in-between punch . This fruit part is also another swamp part. Where you can really make an entire fruit paradise in the drink. But in my opinion less is more- just choose really nice succulent fruits that complement each other and won’t override the drink or slop this beauty up- no bruised fruit- (Just like god does not like bruised fruit... aka -us:) Just keep it simple!




(Pics of moms and I tonight.)

Shake her all up- and pitch it up. This is attractive con-cox-ion you will bloody love.

Oh ya and One secret to making great sangria is have it done in the fridge a day ahead so you are marinating all of this aromatic bouquet of passion together and the love is already pre-made- predestined to be absolute passion.

Passion with fashion that is.



“How beautiful your love, dear, dear friend—
Far more pleasing than a fine, rare wine,
Your fragrance more exotic than select spices.
The kisses of your lips are honey, my love,
every syllable you speak a delicacy to savor.
Your clothes smell like the wild outdoors,
the ozone scent of high mountains.
Dear lover and friend, you're a secret garden,
a private and pure fountain.
Body and soul, you are paradise,
a whole orchard of succulent fruits—
Ripe apricots and peaches,
oranges and pears;
Nut trees and cinnamon,
and all scented woods;
Mint and lavender,
and all herbs aromatic;
A garden fountain, sparkling and splashing,
fed by spring waters from the Lebanon mountains
song of song 4:8-15


Now this is also beautiful pure Punch of Passion I just want to share to go alongside your watering lips…...
Maybe I should have put this before the beverage. As this really is the REAL refreshment….. Forgive me.
Song of song is one of my favorite books in the bible. I think it’s the sweetest book actually.
I always read it when I am feeling a bit lonely….y or just need some Luvvve. You know like LOVE that you just seem to be lacking sometimes! Like uh…. what about me love.....

It reminds me of the love God has for his beautiful bride and just makes you feel oh so sweet inside. How he sees us ladies whom as me perhaps are single… still… not only his daughters, his bride and waiting…. without blemish-- he leads us and opens up the sweet sweet and holy fellowship… he removes the veil and brings us close to his heart - intimacy in heart “in to me you see!!”-- his perfect love being personally perfected in us , his “divine design” in our hearts, maturing as a real women in him , keeping him as the seal on our hearts- to guard our hearts until he leads us to the one he has chosen to be worthy of our King…you know THE man!

He challenges us to walk there in this love- in the fragrance of his love- such refreshment from the worlds blinding confusion of what love is-. "His left arm is under my head and his right arm embraces me” :...—that he Holds us so so tightly close—and his big powerful hand under our heads so we continue to look up to him FIRST before man-- “daughters of Jerusalem I beg and charge you….. Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires....” Yep. Again I say YEP. This is hard with them many foxes out there rrrrrr….. Oh lord! – “catch for us the foxes.. The wee foxes that RUIN the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom” sos 2:15 ….- No man will ever love you like the eternal love god has for us first…. Again I say no man will ever love us like the love god has for us first - no matter what! And trust that he will bring the “one” HE has chosen for you thru the miracles of his love at work within. And…. Yep this is the hard part trust me……no trust him sorry…. :)
No one can take away what god has prepared for you or me his beautiful bride. I encourage you to read this book Song of Songs bit by bit and meditate on it--- is so beautiful... The Depths and dimensions of what REAL love is not just about the union god to his church – us- but also in relationships. Man to Woman- oh baby!. It will open new eyes of your heart- and make you want to seek god for his passion as sweet as this.. At least it does for me... Gods love is the sweetest thing and he gets very jealous when we put things before his love… Ok xoxox

Ok Night night and I pray that you are struck with a pure and sure fine Punch of Passion right this second! not just from my” inspirational” passion fruit sangria punch…..oh bloody….. but from a new passion deep within your heart from his love above…. his real love be revealed! xox
