Sangria + Good Food + Great Friends = The best 28th Birthday BBQ a girl could ask for (even if it did start raining as soon as the bbq started)
It was my first attempt at making sangria and it turned out really nice! While picking up the wine we were given a tip on how to make quick and yummy sangria so I thought I'd pass it along!
Supplies:
The cheapest white wine you can find (I am a girl on a budget okay!?)
Fruit of your choice (I chose raspberries, strawberries and lemon)
Pineapple mandarin orange Palm Bay Coolers
Place the fruit into a pitcher, I probably put about 2 cups of fruit but you can put as much or as little as you'd like, and pour the wine until the pitcher is 3/4 full. Top it off with the Palm Bay Cooler! Let it all sit together for an hour so the flavours can mix together.
I was a little skeptical when Mike and I were told to flavour the Sangria with the Palm Bay cooler but it was an inexpensive and delicious recipe! I definitely recommend you try it! Cheers!
That cake is amazing and you look beautiful! Hope you had a happy birthday!

And to answer your question - yes, I am looking forward to summer clothes, but I'm jealous of those of my blogger friends going into autumn! Hot weather/sun/light clothing does not agree with me and my pasty white skin, sadly!
