I was going to call this “End of Summer Sangria” but I’m holding onto this season a bit longer, ok? Let’s not talk about the sun going down earlier yet, because I’m just now quite in the headspace for that nonsense. This strawberry sangria is one of my favorite recipes over the last few week, one I’ve made at least 3 times over the past few weeks, each time it is slurped down just a bit faster than the last. A cross between a boozy smoothie and wine spiked sangria, this was inspired by my favorite gal, Joy The Baker. The combination can be switched up in a multitude of ways, subbing in white wine for red, limencello for vodka, go on with it! Basically, throw some summer fruit, wine, hard liquor and juice into a blender and call it a day (and night). Bottoms up, strawberry sangria for the summer!

I bought all the ingredients for Joy’s watermelon sangria after seeing your shout-out on facebook and I loved it!

I’m not much of a drinker, but when I do drink, I like it fruity and sparkly, so I know I’d love this! 😀

This looks deliciously dangerous. I could seriously down that whole pitcher!
The Frosted Vegan says
So so dangerous, but it’s ok because there is fruit, right?!
