October Drink of the Month

MOUNT ROYAL LIGHT & SUNDROP – October 2012

A favorite up in the Northwoods of Wisconsin! Very delicious — Enjoy!

Guest Blogger: Deb

My husband and I started drinking Mount Royal Light a year ago. Mount Royal Light is perfect for an Old Fashion; it is smooth and has less alcohol content. We are big Packer fans and like to have a shot when they score a touchdown. We came up with the perfect shot, Maple infused Mount Royal Light Rye Whisky. Mix 2 parts Mount Royal Light Rye Whisky with 1 part pure Maple Syrup; you have to use the best pure Maple Syrup you can buy. We mix a batch up about 3 months prior to football season, store it in the refrigerator, shake it up once a week and by first game it is ready!

I am attaching a few photos, one of me enjoying a Mount Royal Light Old Fashion at the 21 Gun Saloon in Denmark, WI and a few pictures of our family’s After Bender Golf outing, named so because it is the day after Johnsonville’s Pretzel Bender festival. For the past 10 years we have had a family golf outing on the first Tuesday after the 4th of July. This year we had a total of 28 people, 18 golfers and 10 that came to join us for lunch. We all enjoyed using and showing off our cool Mount Royal Light golf towels!

July Drink of the Month: Whisky Lemonade

WHISKY LEMONADE – July 2012

Have you tried this one yet? Cool off with this easy-to-mix drink in this HOT July weather! This drink recipe was submitted by Riley M. in the recipe contest a few months ago. You only need 3 ingredients… Super easy and super delicious! 

“Start with a shot (or two if you’re feeling lucky) of Mount Royal Light, then add your favorite light lemonade. My favorite is Minute Maid Light in the can. This way it is really portable. I finish off the drink with a squeeze of lemon and a lemon wedge for the edge of the glass. Add ice if you would like! This makes for a great summer drink and won’t make you feel super full like how you can feel when you are drinking beer. This also makes for a great pool-side drink!” -Riley M.

June Drink of the Month: Light Royal Cranberry

LIGHT ROYAL CRANBERRY – June 2012

One of the winners of our Recipe Contest was Riley’s submission of Light Royal Cranberry. She pours 1-2 shots of Mount Royal Light over ice and adds cranberry juice to it. Her favorite brand of cranberry juice to use is Ocean Spray because it’s lighter on the calories but still has the same great taste. Riley says that this drink is delicious all times of the year but she particularly likes to drink it while laying by the pool in the summer. Enjoy! Maybe post of pictures of you and your friends drinking a Light Royal Cranberry by your pool on our Facebook page!
