Summer Sangria

Summer is here and nothing compliments the heat better than a sun kissed glass of sangria.  So easy and simple to make, this might be your new favorite "happy" drink.

Recipe:

Red wine of your choice
Peach schnapps
blue agave
fresh squeezed orange juice
Diced apples
Diced strawberries
Ice

This is one of the secret ingredients that will distinguish my summer sangria from your ordinary sangria.  You want your beverage to be sweet but adding processed sugars, simple syrup, sprite or gingerale adds unnecessary unhealthy calories and sugars.  Other key ingredients are using fresh fruits such as apples and strawberries, as well as using fresh squeezed orange juice rather than a store bought bottle of orange juice.  You can definitely taste the difference so for the best taste use the best fresh ingredients of fruits.  Trust me its worth the taste and few extra dollars.

Now go put on your swimsuit and with sangria in hand get yourself a lushious tan and buzz. :)
