Strawberry Sangria


If you are looking for a simple drink to serve on those hot summer nights, this recipe is for you. Sweeter than the average sangria, but still providing a tart kick, it was a delicious and refreshing way to slide into the evening. This really is a great recipe to showcase those local strawberries that are abundant in our area as we speak!

  2. That blue tile countertop really makes for a nice backdrop. The contrasting colors refresh the eyes. I think I need a drink.
