Best of Summer: Sangria

Welp, I'm an awful blogger. But I have not always been an awful blogger. So here's some of my favorite 'summer on gabby', she wrote posts!

Sometimes Elizabeth Marie has really brilliant ideas

Like last night, when she said

"I want to make sangria"

As a supportive sister,

I sliced and squeezed and stirred

and drank.

{if you look behind the club soda, you can see my lil tomato of joy!}

Sangria*

1.5 L red wine (we used real klassy cheap burgundy)

1 cup pineapple juice

juice from 2 lemons, 2 oranges, 2 limes

1/4 cup sugar

thinly sliced lemons, oranges, limes and strawberries

2 cups club soda

(hard alcohol can be added...most recipes called for brandy. we skipped it)

We let it sit in the fridge for a few hours.

It tastes like summer.

*this is a mix of a few recipes. Maybe not authentic but don't rain on my parade!
