Sangria Recipe
I am busy planning my 30th birthday party and have decided to have a Mexican Fiesta! I’ll have photos and such up next week from it but wanted to share with you my sangria recipe. That’s what I am planning to serve as one of the beverages. You can purchase the mix with fruit and spices off of southernsurroundings.com! I use the Brandy recipe but you can use red or white wine and omit the Brandy…
Mixed Fruit Sangria
One package of Mixed Fruit Sangria
One 750 ml bottle of red or white wine
One cup of Brandy
Cut pieces of fruit like orange, lime, apple or peach
Add a cup or so of club soda
Mix together in large pitcher, let set for a few hours for best taste. Pour in glass over ice and top with club soda. Enjoy!
Happy Bday girlfiend!I can’t wait to see your party! My 30th birthday is at the end of next month. I know I want an all girl bash but haven’t decided on a theme yet. Hurry up and inspire me!
Hi Susie! Thanks for the bday wishes. My pics will be up soon… In the meantime I will be thinking of an all girl theme for your bday!
Cheers,
Jo
That Sangria looks delicious. I can’t wait to try it for my next “girls night.”
