How-to: Summery Sweet Sangria for Two

June 21, 2012 2 Comments

Happy Summer Solstice, everyone! In honor of the occasion, I wanted to share a favorite quickie sangria recipe I created from the amazingly delicious-smelling fruit at the grocery store this week. This recipe is as simple as chopping up some fruit, but it’s so good. Today is the longest day of the year, so I plan on prepping a batch of this before work today for the husband and I to stay up too late enjoying tonight. Summer is the best.

Ingredients

1/2 bottle of moscato wine (I got mine for $4.50 like a classy lady.)

1 small lemon; mine was about 2 inches long

1 ripe apricot

2 ripe peaches

Directions

By the way, I thought I’d play with a new format for recipes today. Love or hate it, shoot me a comment and let me know what you think. If you’ve got ideas for improving it, lemme know! :)

One small lemon, slided into coins.

A breakdown of the fruit in this sangria: 1 small lemon, 2 ripe peaches, 1 ripe apricot.

Top the fruit in the 2-cup sized Pyrex cup with half a bottle of moscato.

Refrigerate everything for 8 to 12 hours.

If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually k If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually knitting from one sweater into another here, no big deal. (What can I say, I lost a game of yarn chicken. 😂) I almost didn’t post this because I was worried someone might have some nonsense to say about my ability to knit. Then I remembered I can’t care about that. Silly me, I almost forgot myself!

Speaking of which, dang it’s good to have my mental health back consistently after the past couple of years. The anxious parts of my personality are just chilling, rather than constantly screaming that my work isn’t good enough to share. The confident parts of me that matter have me creating (and starting to share my creations & process with strangers and friends) again!

Anybody else feel like they are beginning to return to themselves, so to speak, this spring?
