can you believe summer is almost over?! i hope everyone enjoys their nice long weekend (minus the rain!)

here’s a yummy sangria recipe that i’ve tried that i can’t seem to get enough of! i first made it at my purse party last month and now i’m trying to find any excuse to be able to make it whenever i can! (unfortunately i forgot to photograph it at the purse party, and the sangria pictured is somewhat paler because this was from me trying to satisfy a craving with dinner and it’s mixed with a white wine rather than a rose wine, i also garnished it with raspberries as well as strawberries…no complaints though!)

Strawberry Sangria:

• 1 bottle rose wine (i used a zinfandel)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cup strawberry lemonade (i’ve also made it with raspberry lemonade, and either way tastes great!)
• 1 cup sliced strawberries
• 1 cup club soda (if you wanted, you can substitute it with lemon lime soda, but i haven’t tried it with that yet, so i don’t know if it changes the taste too much)

• pour ingredients into a pitcher and gently stir. add ice just before serving
