If you know me, you know I love Trader Joes for many reasons, and here is one more:
Orange Muscat Champagne Vinegar!!
I do not drink soda anymore, and I miss the fizz. I tried some and after being off of it for so long, I am pleased to say I just can’t handle the sweetness of it anymore! (I never thought I would say that, I used to love my pop!) But, I do miss the fizz. When I read the back of Trader Joes Orange Muscat Champagne Vinegar bottle and a suggestion for use was to add crushed ice and sparkling water for a refreshing spritzer, I got REALLY excited. It calls for 3 Tbls of vinegar, next time I will only do 2, as I like just a hint of the citrus and vinegar tang.
It really was refreshing.
The vinegar contains:
Champagne Vinegar, Orange Juice, Sugar, Fresh Oranges, Muscat Grape Juice
Its suggested use on the bottle:
~as a marinade for chicken or shrimp
~tossed with melons peaches and berries for a fruit salad
~use as a dressing with 1 part vinegar to 2 parts olive oil
~use to make a tangy fruit salsa of mango, red onion, serrano chile and cilantro.
I will be trying it on my next Spinach Salad w/ Mandarin Oranges and Slivered Almonds.
MMMmmmm.
If you do not live close to a Trader Joes, here is a similar product:

April 16, 2011 at 6:20 pmOH Amy! We have our monthly trip to T.J. planned for then the baby wakes up from his nap here in about an hour! This couldn’t have come at a better time! Seriously. Perfection. We also stopped drinking pop (that’s what we call it down here! haha) We actually had Coke at a friends house the other day….. because we too miss the fizz. It was so so sweet and strange. I CAN not wait to give this a try!
