Very Berry Sangria

by Candace Sampson

This is the second sangria recipe that I decided is worthy of you. Remember the first one? The Boozy Sangria? Original name, right? Well this one is equally as inventive. It’s the Very Berry Sangria.

Please, for the love of good sangria, do not confuse it with that Boone’s crap you can buy at the liquor store. *shiver* THAT is not sangria. If you’re ever in a bind and must buy sangria bottled make sure it’s Real Sangria. But if you visit here regularly, you know that homemade is the best, right?

I’m posting this recipe for Susie, because how much fun is it to have your best friend’s neighbour visit your site! Makes me smile. Susie, I will be awaiting your review.

Very Berry Sangria

750 ml bottle Merlot
1 cup lemon vodka
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups white cranberry juice
1/2 pint fresh raspberries
1/2 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 golden delicious apple, cut into chunks
1 orange, cut into wedges

Mix Merlot and vodka together and stir in sugar until dissolved. Add the next 5 ingredients and refrigerate minimum four hours but overnight is best.

    That looks yummy! Do you think Limoncello would work instead of lemon vodka?

    You don’t know who the competition is out there and all you need quando i bambini fanno oh to look into a reward kit such as this. Plan ahead and make your hair heavier then a sooner you begin using provillus to create that hair thicker and keep it alive before quando i bambini fanno oh its all gone.

    I like to use 3 cups of grey goose vodka to booze up this recipe…everyone enjoys it and drinks less volume bc of the higher alcohol content. I also add just a lil bit of honey to the recipe as well. The results are sick! (Sick meaning outstanding)
