Whenever we’re down at the PS house, I always make a large batch of sangria to keep in the refridgerator. I love the stuff because it’s so refreshing and nice to have around on a hot, sunny day!
At the nearby grocery store, I look for a variety of fruit that are on sale or look particularly good. I like to get a nice mixture for extra flavor. Here I have nectarines, pears, oranges, mangoes, and apples.
Slice up the fruit and place in a bowl. I like to keep them in large chunks because eating the alcohol soaked fruit is the best part.
Here’s where I cheat. I mix 1 part bottled sangria (I really like the Cruz Garcia Real Sangria brand) with 1 part red wine (I’ll just get anything on sale because I’m just mixing it with the sangriz mix anyway). I’ve experimented with the different sangria brands and have found that a higher quality brand really makes a difference on the end result. The bottled sangria tends to be too sugary for my taste so adding more wine helps to temper the sweetness.
Pour some sangria into a decorative glass and enjoy poolside. Cheers!

Mmmm… Mango in sangria! Great choice! And don’t forget to eat the fruits when you’re done!
Lol, the fruit is the best part. Your blog is great btw, I’ve been trying to eat more Paleo this year and your blog has been really helpful. I also just received Pracyical Paleo in the mail so I’m super excited!
Wow – thanks! I really appreciate that! I love to cook, and I love to share – it seems to be a winning combo!
At last! Someone who unadsrtends! Thanks for posting!
This looks wonderful and makes me wish for summer!
It’s true! Maybe if you make a batch, it’ll feel like summer. š
With the wind chill it is 4 degree F today. š I could use summer.
Wow! That is refreshing! Too bad I can’t share that with the kids!
They do in Europe, lol!

Can’t go wrong with sangria!
