Summer Sangria Recipes

Sangria could be the epitome of the perfect summer cocktail. It's cold, refreshing, and crisp — exactly what you need during the hot summer months. At home, I make a pretty delicious sangria (if I do say so myself — and I do), perfect for enjoying in the hot weather.

Since I don't have a pool, beach, or front porch at my immediate disposal in Brooklyn, I gladly go with luxuriating on the balcony at my friend's house in Astoria, Queens, sipping sangria all the livelong day.

I really enjoy this sangria recipe because it is not overly sweet, but is incredibly refreshing.
