Sangria Recipe

So how is everyone doing?? I missed posting last week because things were a little too crazy for me to sit down to the computer, lol! Things are getting back to normal though (at least for now).

I can’t believe it’s November already!! Are you starting to plan out your Thanksgiving menus yet, or do you wait until the last minute?

I used to plan way in advance and I still like to, it just doesn’t happen that way anymore. So, I will be planning everything while the turkey is thawing, lol!! No, I will probably be a little more prepared than that but not much.

Fall Sangria

Speaking of planning ahead, I like to make things that can be MADE AHEAD. It just makes my life so much easier!

That’s why I love offering drinks like this that can be made ahead so I don’t have to play bartender and try to get the meal done on time. Trust me, it’s not a pretty site, lol!

Recipe Notes

1. To make non-alcoholic simply leave out the alcohol, it’s just as good! It will decrease the amount and won’t make as many servings.
2. I also added 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds, but you don’t have to.
