Alright, time to celebrate! It is the weekend. The house is SOLD! AND, I’m posting more than one recipe this week! Yeah! 🙂
I’ve never tried a Sangria before, but a friend of mine made me some candles in this scent, and I LOVE them. I’m not a fan of wine, so I wasn’t sure I was going to like this. But, since I mix my Sangria with Sprite right before drinking, it is actually a nice drink to sit on the deck on a hot summer day & enjoy.
Kick back and enjoy the weekend with the Perfect Sangria. 🙂 (But be responsible, these are pretty boozy if you don’t add the carbonated water/Sprite).

Congrats on the news!
I feel very refreshed and cooled off just looking at this, which says a lot considering it's about 100 degrees here :).

That looks divine, Jeanine … though our weather here lately has called for hot chai tea more than cool beverages. What a summer! Uugh.
Congrats on the house! Yahoo!!! Here's hoping you'll be moved in and enjoying some refreshments at your new place soon.
