pink lemonade sangria

Because it is still summer ya know.

I missed my what up Wednesday post this week.  I’m sorry.   Do you even care?  I hope you do.  I won’t bore you with the sad sappy details but let’s just say that the work day on wednesday ended with everyone drinking margaritas and beer.  I had a sangria margarita and boy did it lessen the pain and tears. And it was really tasty too. And on special because it was happy hour. Double score!  So there just wasn’t any time or energy or mental capacity to post on my blog. So sorry.

But now I’m back!  And I made a pitcher of sangria!  In case you want to share.  Or in case you have a day where you want to drink all day.  Or you want to start your weekend off with a bang because this will last a day or two in your fridge.

Start your sangria off with lots of fruit.  I jam packed mine with slices of lemon, lime, orange,  and strawberries, and some grapes.

See how jam packed that is.  Then as soon as you pour yourself a glass, you add more wine and it’s like a never ending pitcher of sangria!

I used pink moscato wine then topped it off with lemonade.  Hence the name pink lemonade sangria.  Oh yeah, and I added a 1/2 cup of vodka to the pitcher too because I didn’t want to alter the taste of the sangria with another mixer like a schnapps or a flavored vodka.  I just wanted a very light, refreshing drink with fruity subtle hints of flavor.

I pretty much gave the recipe throughout this post but just in case you need a quick recap:

pink lemonade sangria

fruit- slices of 1 lemon, 1 lime, 1 orange, 5 strawberries, and a handful of grapes

pink moscato wine

1/2 cup vodka

lemonade

Layer fruit in a pitcher.  Add wine to cover the fruit.  Then add vodka and enough lemonade to fill the pitcher.  Attempt to stir.  Refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors meld together.

Share with friends or keep it all for yourself.  I won’t tell.  I promise.
