Summer Sangria Recipe


As seen in my KTVK Your Life Arizona segment today, here is the recipe for the sangria.  It is actually an autumn recipe but why not do sort of a little Christmas in July twist today since the world is so upside down anyway?!  I hope everyone is hanging in there.  Here is the cheer up summer Sangria tasty recipe.

Last October I served this to my gal pals and they asked for seconds…and thirds. Everyone commented how unique, refreshing and tasty this particular sangria tasted.  If you are not a sangria fan, you may be surprised that you like this one because it is not near as sweet as traditional sangria.  Here is the easy recipe that marinates overnight, too.  I think another reason this is so delish is the pumpkin pie spice that is also included in the recipe.  A big thank you to Hob Nob wine for sharing this recipe with me.
