TGIF Summer Sangria

summer sangria
Working full time means I look forward to Friday afternoons with such glee. Last weekend we celebrated the weekend with a bucket party (!!) and I pretty much drank myself this entire recipe of Sangria, which wasn't as much of a disaster as I thought it would be! It's super yummy and super summery so if you're somewhere warm, enjoy!

Ingredients:
4 mangos, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup of ginger, skin on, thinly sliced
2 lemons, thinly sliced
1 cup Triple Sec
2 bottles Pino Grigio
1 litre club soda
Mint sprigs

Combine Mango, ginger, lemons, and triple sec in a jug and refrigerate for 1 hour to overnight. Add 2 bottle Pino Grigio and stir to combine. Serve in mason jars over ice with 2/3 full sangria, top up with club soda and garnish with mint. Drink and relax. yes!

ps. here's some pictures of our bucket party in 2009!

  1. oh yum. I've got some leftover wine saved for sangria, trying this for tomorrow's card/games night.

  2. If you don't have time to let sangria sit overnight, throw in some fruity booze leftover to boost the power. i love cassis in a red wine sangria!
