The birds are chirping and the flowers are blooming! It’s time for Springtime cocktails! Unwind on the patio with a light, refreshing glass of Sangria. What’s great about Sangrias are they’re so easy to make and last for days…if you make a big enough pitcher.
Always start melding the fruit and alcohol the night before for the most intense flavor and add the sparkler right before serving. Throw a few marinated shrimp skewers on the grill, add a mixed green salad and feel just how good the weekend is going to be!
