Summer is just around the corner and our bar is what some would consider negligently overstocked with wine. A batch of Sangria, Spain’s answer to the quintessential patio drink is not only in order, but well overdue! Anyone who has ever enjoyed a glass (or two or three) with us will tell you that this seemingly harmless libation is just as destructive as it is delicious. In our rendition, we opted for a sangria blanca or blonde sangria substituting the traditional red wine with a white. The result is a more delicate wine punch without sacrificing potency. The refreshing combination of watermelon, citrus and fresh basil has a little bite with the addition of ginger. A favourite amongst all of our friends, this stuff goes down so easy you’ll have to consider doubling the recipe!
