Drink of the Day: Mason Jar Sangrias


Wine, Sangria, Mason Jar, Sweet Alcohol
Mason Jar Sangria
Sangrias have always been the favorite of people of all ages. Most sangria recipes are pretty simple: wine + fruit (+ sometimes brandy or another spirit) + ice = pitcher of refreshment. Please, please, please take note of one thing: good sangria does not come out of a pre-mixed bottle. Ever. No matter what Boone's Farm tries to tell you. Just say no. All you need is a relatively inexpensive bottle of wine, some fruit and an adventurous spirit. Let us know if you have your own favorite blend!.
