I know it’s only Tuesday, but I’m already thinking about this weekend. I’m looking forward to 3 long days of relaxation and fun with friends. Summer is almost over and I haven’t spent nearly as much time outdoors as I had hoped. A cocktail on the patio is definitely in my plans for this weekend. Why don’t you join me? Mix up a refreshing, fruity cocktail, sit outside, and enjoy summer’s last long weekend.

Thanks all! I’ve never met a Sangria I didn’t like! This one is particularly good for lazy Sunday brunches. I’m still trying to recreate one that I had in New York once that was a white wine Sangria infused with lemongrass. Just can’t get it right! I’ll keep drinking, I mean experimenting! ;)
