summertime sangria.

Sangria is a summertime staple in our home and I have a feeling we'll be making a big 'ol pitcher of it this weekend. It's a light, happy and refreshing drink can be enjoyed all day long. Here's our go-to recipe. 

simple summertime sangria

1 bottle of a fruity red or white wine 

(I usually buy Saludas Red from Fresh & Easy for $2.99)

4 cups of Diet 7-Up or Ginger Ale (or just pour to taste)

1 orange, cut in slices & squeezed

1 lemon, cut in slices & squeezed

2 limes, cut in slices & squeezed
Splash of orange juice or lemonade
1-2 tablespoons of Triple Sec (optional)
1 small can of pinneapple (optional)
Fresh berries of your choice (optional) 

Chill the pitcher to let the flavors blend (ideally for at least a few hours or overnight).
Serve over ice & enjoy!

This is our authentic sangria set that we bought during a 

Schramm Family trip in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in April 2008.
