Beat the heat with Champagne Sangria
Need a refreshing cocktail to beat this heat? Try my Champagne sangria!
This is a sweet and fruity twist on classic white wine sangria. It a fun, bubbly cocktail that is a sure crowd pleaser. You can adjust the recipe as you wish and try using different types of fresh fruit.
I love the addition of fresh mint, and for this recipe I use a mint-infused simple syrup. To make your own, add one cup of sugar to one cup of boiling water. Add a handful of fresh mint leaves, boil for 3 minutes, then allow to cool.
