Nothin’ like some Snow Day Sangria to warm yourself up this weekend! I used what was left of my Wine Wednesday selection (an overly sweet red wine called Turn Me Sweet 2010)to make a darn good sangria. I had a recipe I was going to follow, but because of the slushy, snowy mess outside, my motivation to walk to the store for ingredients was extremely low. Instead I decided to make do with what I had on hand, and boy, am I glad I did! My homemade sangria turned out quite tasty!
(Feel free to substitute as needed…it sure worked for me!)
Mix together a bottle of Turn Me Sweet 2010 red wine, 3 cups of pink lemonade, 1 cup of Cascade Ice Cosmopolitan Sparkling Cocktail Mixer (or pomegranate juice), ½ cup of cranberry juice (or orange juice if you like that better), a couple tablespoons of lemon juice, and about five peeled and separated Mandarin oranges (or grapes, or blackberries, or apples, or lemons…whatever) in a pitcher and stir to combine. If you pour yourself a glass, turn up the heater, and close your eyes, you'll almost believe it's summertime!
Enjoy,
Kami
