During those months when the weather begins to heat up you need something cool and refreshing. There are lots of spring and summer cocktails out there but one of my favorites is sangria.
Drinking a glass of sangria transports me to a warm Mediterranean day in which you spend the entire day walking through the streets of Spain and stopping into a local eatery for a glass of sangria and some tapas. Side note, I highly recommend this. Spain is a beautiful country.
I can’t think of a better way of having a few drinks while enjoying a small serving of fruit for the day.
