Haha, I totally know what you mean about the cocktail category. I seem to throw booze into all of my recipes. But hey, there’s nothing wrong with a delicious cocktail! Also, now I’m dying for a big glass of sangria now; it looks so yummy.
Hahaha exactly! I do love me some booze filled beverages 🙂
I could totally sip on this while sitting on the porch, and it’s so pretty!
This looks perfect. I made a white sangria with peaches and mango last month. I need to try your red!
Oh yum! Peaches and mango…I would love that sangria!
I agree, it’s time for sipping & sangria is a must!
I haven’t commented in so long – I love your new look! And this Sangria! Definitely something I want to relax with and enjoy on a hot summer day.
I love your new look. I really need to update my look too, I’m slipping behind! I love the Sangria, it is so perfect for summer and serving to your friends that come over for grilling and such. Bring it on!
What a wonderful drink! And how nice to be on the same menu with you.
i VERY rarely have any kind of alcohol, but sangria is something i really enjoy. the flavor of the booze can be very, very subtle, and that’s what i prefer. 🙂
This looks so refreshing for these hot summer days (and nights!). I may have to toss some mango in there… 🙂
Do you know a red wine that will not cause a headache. I can’t remember why, but I get a headache everytime I drink wine and most beer brands. I would love to have advice on this because I would love to try this cocktail! I think it would be a little odd tasting, though to use whiskey, lol!
