Stone Fruit Summer Sangria
Nothing says Summer like a crisp icy glass of Sangria. Packed with “in season” stone fruits, lifted with a hit of Grand Marnier and simple syrup, this Sangria will elevate your brunch game. I use an entire bottle of Rosé and add more fruitiness by adding lemon juice, lemon infused simple syrup and as much stone fruit as you can pack in your pitcher.
Garnish with more fruit and a spring of mint from the garden.
When cocktails are this beautiful, we want those long lazy Summer days to last and last.
Cheers!
