Sparkling Rosé Sangria

Not your average Sangria - this Sparkling Rosé Sangria is the perfect drink for warm spring or summer days. Strawberries, raspberries, cherries, and sliced citrus soak with rosé, infusing the fruit with the booze while giving the rosé a delicious fruity flavor. Top it off with some sparkling water and you’ve got yourself a refreshing (and beautiful) Sangria.

Watermelon Mint Prosecco Spritz

If a cocktail could taste like summer, it would be this Watermelon Mint Spritz. It’s so refreshing and especially perfect for warm weekend afternoons. Fresh mint is muddled with maple syrup, blended with watermelon, strained, then mixed with a touch of lime juice. It’s topped with a good amount of Prosecco but can easily be swapped for tequila or vodka.

I love this drink because you can easily make the watermelon juice ahead of time. You can even mix the Prosecco in with the juice and freeze it for later for a slushy.
