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!
