Do you love a fun drink for the holidays? I sure do, and this sangria recipe does the trick! I’ve never made homemade sangria before and normally buy the gallon size Carlo Rossi because we are super fancy in our house. I wanted to make my own and did some research on different recipes, this one by far stuck out and with a few tweaks, and it’s seriously some good shit I tell ya!
You will need a big ol’ pitcher to hold all the ingredients below
