Sparkling Summer Sangria

This sparkling summer sangria is packed full of fresh fruit, orange liqueur and pink sparkling wine. Welcome summer with this sweet cocktail! You’ll love it!

Bubbles, wine and fresh fruit…yes! Sangria is one of my favorite drinks and have made it twice so far on Nutmeg Nanny. A delicious honeycrisp apple sangria and summertime sangria. This sangria is a little bit different since I decided to use a little pink bubbly wine. 

I also packed the sangria full of fresh fruit I had sitting in my fruit bowl. You honestly could use just about anything you have at home. However, always make sure to add citrus. It’s key.  I also threw in some fresh mint because I had tons of that too.

Oh and if you are in the market for a new wine opener you’re in luck! Le Creuset is offering to giveaway a totally fabulous activ-ball wine opener! When is it ever a bad thing to have an extra wine opener knocking around?
