so thirsty.

the first sangria of summer.

we've had a busy month. it's good that it's memorial day weekend. to take a break and relax. regroup. before summer sets in with full force next week.

tonight we had our first sangrias of summer. there's nothing or seems to be nothing more refreshing on a warm day...

i take the short cut route to making them...a little box of boxed sangria is great. especially when doctored up. it must be doctored up! but you can always use a good wine. red or white. your preference.

cut up some yummy fruit. i like to use berries, apples, oranges, peaches lemon and lime slices. i also like frozen fresh blueberries and grapes. they also serve to keep the drink cold.

so here goes. fill your glass with ice. add your fruit.

then fill with wine and top off with ginger ale. stir. sip and enjoy!
