minty lime sangria bright TK

Confession: I am not the sangria master in the family! Nope – that would be my sister-in-law (who contributes our beloved Sangria of the month on the blog here) and my mother-in-law. I am a novice, but I have aspirations. They have set the bar high, so I might as well start practicing now.

I made this sangria a few weeks ago to try and forget the February blahs. I was hoping that the cool minty and citrus flavours would lend a hand in helping me forget about the cold and crappy winter we’ve been having, but the wine and rum did one better. Whoopsie daisy!
