DIY Sangria

It’s Monday already….galll whiz. Each weekend keeps going by faster and fast! This past weekend was a fun one. Saturday we went canoeing all day (see yesterdays post) and had a birthday BBQ for Blake. And Yesterday, Blake and I went to Grillfest (Thanks for the VIP passes Gold n’ Plump Chicke n!!) and to my good friend Ashley’s graduation party. While it was really fun…I ate a lot…and not the best food. I ate a LOT of dessert and drank 2 days in a row (which I haven’t done in years)!

I’m excited to get back to a normal eating routine this week.

One of the yummy (and actually healthier) drinks I made for Blake’s party was a DIY Sangria.

I’m usually a white wine drinker, but I’ve bene trying to rotate between red because of all the health benefits it provides!

Sangria is actually a lot easier to make than you would think. I don’t think there is a right or wrong recipe…but I really enjoyed the one I came up with!

Ingredients

1 bottle red wine
2 cups orange juice
2 cups cranberry juice
2 cans sparkling water
2 oranges, sliced
1 lime, sliced
1 lemon, sliced
Ice

How to make DIY Sangria recipe

Mix all ingredients, but the sparkling water and ice and let sit for about an hour. Before serving, add in sparkling water and ice.

This was a delicious, summary concoction that I will most definitely be remaking in the future!

One last thing before I let you go…I have one more drink for you to O0o and Ahh after. I made a delicious and refreshing Raspberry Orange Spritzer for the Anytime Fitness blog. Seriously- I could drink this all day. It’s non alcoholic and an easy way to spice up your water

Those raspberries were so perfectly sweet! Melt in my mouth!

That is all.

Monday.

Bye.
