Lucy’s Pineapple-Lime
Sangria
Ingredients:
1 bottle pinot grigio
30 oz. pineapple juice
30 oz. lemonade
30 oz. lemon lime soda
10 oz. dry sake (or vodka, if preferred)
2 fresh limes, squeezed
1 fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
Fresh mint leaves
Directions:
Using a mortar and pestle, muddle fresh mint
and set aside. Add pineapple chunks into a large
1-gallon pitcher, then add muddled mint. Pour all
liquid ingredients into the pitcher and stir together
until fully mixed. Chill, serve, and enjoy!
Sangria Pops
Directions:
Follow recipe as above but omit pineapple chunks.
Instead, use a blender or food processor to create
pineapple puree from the chunks and pour into
popsicle molds, filling only until 1/4 filled. Next,
slowly pour prepared sangria into the molds to
layer the popsicle. Freeze for a minimum of 4
hours, remove from molds and serve as popsicles
(remember to insert popsicle sticks prior to
freezing) or place them in a wine glass and fill with
the varietal of your choice or more sangria.
Makes 4-ounce popsicles.
chow down on all they have to offer.
Enjoying no less attention is their selection of craft
local brews, their wide array of quality wines, and one
of their very own claims to fame—their house-made
sangrias. “We’re slightly famous for them,” Heather
says with a proud grin.
A sweet wine infused with fruit, Lucy’s sangrias
are certainly a sweet finish to a meal or simply as a
sip to savor while the world passes you by. If you’re
in the mood for some icy fun, order a sangria pop, an
ingenious invention made from freezing their “famous”
sangrias into popsicle form and served submerged in a
glass of wine or champagne.
But these are not the only sweets to be had at Lucy’s,
as they offer a selection of seasonal homemade desserts
and a S’mores Flatbread whose decadence pays homage
to its namesake with every last bite, combining milk
chocolate, marshmallows, and graham cracker crunch
and melting them together atop flatbread served hot
and fresh from the oven. “Do yourself a favor and order
it!” Heather laughs. “It never disappoints.”
Whether you come with your four-legged companion
in tow or come to dine with friends of the human kind,
Lucy’s in the Square is a destination not to be missed, a
true downtown find where fantastic food, great fun, and
seriously sip-worthy sangrias make every guest as happy
as a dog with a bone.
