If you ask 10 friends if they like sangria, at least nine will regale you with a story about a pitcher they ordered at a restaurant that was magical.
Um, duh.
Cause sangria is summer = cocktails = heaven.
But you can totally make it and it’s crazy easy, and somehow spiritually satisfying.
So, sangria is basically wine,
plus fruit, plus time.
Wait, what? I’m not kidding.
Grab a bottle of your favorite (or cheapest, this is sangria) wine, some gorgeous fresh fruit, combine, wait…and enjoy.
Summer’s version of a cocktail!
I like to start with a red wine.
Peel a peach. Dump it in.
Plum? Oranges?
Berries? Yes! Toss in with a splash of sugar and let it sit overnight.
In the fridge.
Next day you’ve got a melange of wine-y goodness that will make everyone’s day.
It’s like the summer “you” turned into the Martha Stewart “you” and a beautiful beverage was created.
Enjoy it. And enjoy saying, “ You love it? Oh, it’s just some stuff I threw together..”
