Need a simple refresher for the upcoming holiday weekend? This simple summer sangria (which can be found in our e-cookbook Gatherings that you can download after subscribing to our blog here – shameless plug 🙂 !) is a keeper! Here we used white grapes, peaches, lime juice, mint and basil. Don’t get all worked up about the proportions of the ingredients. Add more or less as you desire. You can practice all summer to get your favorite proportions just right and stay refreshed at the same time!
