Summer Bourbon Sangria

Hello S-U-N-D-A-Y .

As you might have noticed, yesterday was my birthday. Yep one year older and hopefully a little wiser too!! 😉

See I have a hate/love relationship with birthdays especially when it’s my birthday. I loved them as a kid when it meant having tons of my friends over and having a blast with them. But now things have changed. Most of my friends live far far away and sometimes year goes by without seeing and sometimes even talking to them. So birthdays are no longer that fun and now all grown up with tons of responsibilities, I feel with every passing year it keeps getting busier & busier. Though I must say I am grateful for everything that has happened and hoping for an amazing many more years!

Ingredients for Summer Bourbon Sangria

But being a food blogger, it entitles me to make my own drinks & appetizers on my birthday! So that’s exactly what I did! I made us a boozy summer sangria with tons of gorgeous summer produce and a dip #recipecomingsoon.

Fruits Flavoring Summer Bourbon Sangria

Let’s talk about this sangria today. This is the ultimate sangria drink you can have in your repertoire. I am telling you there is nothing better than a chilled pitcher of sangria made using sweet white wine, bourbon, fresh mint and lots of fresh fruits. It’s like heaven in a glass. I was all the time drooling while taking pictures! I mean seriously just look at this beauty!

Ready to Drink Summer Bourbon Sangria

Make sure you chill this sangria for good 5-6 hours as that’s what makes the fruits all boozy and the best part while sipping on sangria is ALWAYS munching on those juicy boozy fruits! So I suggest you make yourself a big pitcher of this and enjoy sunday night while watching reruns of your favorite shows, Hello House of cards!

    • Lorraine, just like the old adage: “it’s five o’clock somewhere” …I’m telling you, “it’s summer time somewhere!” I entertained on New Year’s eve with a big pitcher of sangria for those who don’t drink heavy alcoholic drinks. I feel that if you can drink any red or white wine with your dinner, whether it be, fish, pork, chicken or beef … you can drink Sangria as well. Make it your own.
