Description
Sangria is a refreshing warm weather beverage, perfect for entertaining or back yard barbecues. It looks beautiful served in a clear glass crock or pitcher. If you don’t have any frozen strawberries, substitute frozen raspberries or peaches. For an extra special treat, spoon the macerated fruit from the sangria over vanilla ice cream.
