This easy to make Sangria is fresh and fabulous! Â With just a few ingredients you can whip up a batch for your next party, or Friday night alone. Â Whatever comes first!
mmmmm…I sure do love my job. Â Hiccup… Oh yes I do! Â It’s a lovely Friday in Seattle and I’m thinking about cool beverages. Â It’s only 65 Â but in ‘Seattle degrees’ thats almost 80. Â Good enough for me…
I’ve made this about as simple as I can for you guys, because I know you love simple.  Wine, fruit, juice, ice and some orange liquor.  If you don’t have the orange liquor don’t sweat it. I used a Merlot but if you prefer a bolder flavor, a Cab would work well…as would a Syrah…as would a blend.  Really, it’s hard to get this wrong if you start with a wine you like. Some recipes will call for sugar.  Too sweet for me.  I find the juices add plenty of sweetness. Besides I love me some wine so the more winey flavor the better!
I like it with a splash of sparkling water. I just add it my glass rather than pitcher.  ( Mr. LS prefers to not have his booze diluted. And that is why I love this guy!) Besides it loses it’s fizz pretty quickly if added to the pitcher.
This is more of a concept than a recipe but for those of you that need specific instructions…(not judging, just helping). Â I’ve listed the recipe out for you below.
Serve with fresh Fajitas and Spanish Rice and you got a pretty sweet little Fiesta! Â Hiccup..
Clink!
