Summer Drink Recipe: Sangria

Four years ago, my best friend hosted the most perfect country stagette for me at my house. The ladies sat around the fire and enjoyed great food and great drinks; we relaxed and shared a lot of laughs. Everyone who attended brought their favourite recipes to add to my collection, since I love to cook and bake. I figured I would share one of those with you! This delicious recipe for Sangria is perfect for a hot summer day and super easy to concoct. Even after FOUR years it is my go to summer drink recipe!
