- I'm sure it would be great! Yesterday when I made this I added a lot of orange slices, squeezed a few oranges into, and even added a splash of OJ from a carton. It was quite tasty. Let me know...
- I am SERIOUSLY jealous! That sounds like a fantastic trip.
- Sounds perfect for daytime, I'm a big fan of tart citrusy drinks. I wonder how a touch of Orangina would do in this? Have a great 4th you two!
- Delicious! I'm in Barcelona at the moment and loving trying all the local Sangria recipes. I haven't tried white (blanco!) sangria yet, will have to seek it out :)
