Summertime Sangria

Summer is in full swing down here in South Texas! What better way to be in full summer mode than to enjoy some bbq and hang out by the pool with a refreshing drink. We recently put a tiny above-ground pool in our backyard, and so, of course, I went to create something unique to sip by the pool…enter my Summertime Sangria! The best part, it is super simple to make and delicious!

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz. Orange Juice
  • 4 oz. Lemon-Lime Soda
  • 1 oz. Pineapple Juice
  • 1 T Diced Seasonal Fruit

Directions:

  • Mix orange juice and pineapple juice into a pitcher.
  • Add any fruit that you would like (strawberries, blueberries, pineapple chunks, etc.).
  • Top with lemon-lime soda.
  • Pour into glasses.
  • Garnish with additional fresh fruits.

    This drink is so much fun because you can make it your own. If you want to make this more adult-friendly, add your favorite vodka or rum, and you will have an amazing summer cocktail! This is all about your preference, and either way, it is going to be a fantastic drink for any party. Try it out…you are going to love it!
