Blackberry Mint Sangria

I have been craving sangria ever since the weather started warming up. Nothing like a large glass of refreshing sangria loaded with fresh fruit and mint on a gorgeous day!

Blackberry Mint Sangria

At first I was going to add a citrus vodka to the drink, but as is turns out the new area we live in is a “damp” town. What the heck does that mean… Well, we learned you can only buy beer and wine in the town we live in. If we want liquor we have to travel to another town. Good thing the hubby and I only really drink beer and wine!

Now back to the sangria… Since the vodka idea didn’t work out I found some triple sec left over from the move so I used that instead. I had used triple sec in my Summer Strawberry Rosemary Sangria from last year so I figured it would work. And boy it did! Cheers!

Summer Strawberry Rosemary Sangria

Sangria is definitely one of my favorite drinks. It’s super delicious and easy to make.

You can add any type of fruit you like. I had some strawberries, lime, and oranges I needed to use, and I thought that would make a great combo for summer. Well, it’s not actually summer yet, but close enough.
