the weather is warming up and that calls for some refreshing beverages for after work happy hours, saturday picnics, and sunday afternoons! one of my favorite drinks to whip up for friends is homemade sangria. it is almost as easy as grabbing beer on your way home from work and putting it in the cooler. this is just a little more fruity, pretty, and girly (boys still drink it – but maybe not in pictures! lol).
1. collect all ingredients : lemonade with raspberry from the Simply brand (or juice of choice!), a bottle of Moscato (or wine of choice), lemon lime soda water, and frozen fruit ( i use strawberries, mango, raspberries, and pineapple!).
2. dump it: dump all ingredients into a pitcher. depending on desired alcohol content, use more or less juice/ soda water.
3. enjoy it! invite your friends over, throw a party, chat on your couch, play games, laugh at youtube videos, and spend time together! food and drink has a way of drawing hearts together and establishing relationships. invite people over just because and sit on the porch drinking some homemade sangria. you wont regret it.

Wow!!! I needed to make this like yesterday! 🙂 Looks so yum!
Pinning this now! Sounds perfect for summer – can't wait to try!
Do you think you could make a mocktail version of this? I know nothing about alcohol except that I've never liked any that I've tried. But the fruit and juice sounds good!
totally! yeah. it is a sweet wine anyways (you can't even taste the wine) but you can totally make it safe for the whole family! I recommend just adding some more of the carbonated water (lemon or lime flavored) to add a little of the bitterness to tone the sweetness down!
🙂 you are so welcome! and no worries, the link up is live for the whole week and I will have a new one of Monday! I would love to work with you on a sidebar ad 🙂 XOXO
Delish! Who doesn't like Sangria?! I should try to make some homemade soon 🙂
This looks delicious! I always make sangria with red wine, but I think I'm going to have to try this white based version. The mango in it sounds perfect:)
I know! I am much more into the white wine version – I just like the taste much better personally!
you should! it is so easy too 🙂
oranges and strawberries sound great!
