Natalie came up with the idea to make a cocktail using some red, white and blue fruit for a festive fourth beverage, and I decided to round it out by using the Dry White Cider that our friends at Wölffer sent to us to try out last month!

Here's what to do: 1) Add 1 cup fresh raspberries, 1 cup fresh blueberries and 1/2 cup star-shaped apple slices to a pitcher.

2) On top of fruit, add 1-2 bottles of Wölffer's Dry White Cider, enough to fill the pitcher.

3) Cover pitcher and let sit in fridge for 1-2 hours. 4) Once you remove from the pitcher, pour into each cocktail glass, allowing some fruit to pour into each glass.

5) Garnish with star-shaped apple slice and a straw!

After we mixed this up in the studio, we took it to the pool that just happens to be on the roof of our studio building, to sip from our new Party People shatterproof Govino stemless wine glasses, and enjoy the breathtaking NYC view.  How much more America could it get?
