Lauren’s Sangria
Sangria is a wonderfully refreshing summer drink. With juice, lots of ice, and fresh fruits, it makes a pretty presentation. We make a batch at almost every warm weather party, and everyone always enjoys it. This past weekend, at a bachelorette party, I made 8 batches!!!!! Yes, I swear it is that good! My friend Lauren gave me this recipe years ago, and I have never made a single substitution. It is perfect, just as it is.
Lauren’s Sangria
Ingredients:
1/2 cup peach schnapps
1/2 cups Triple Sec
2 cups red wine* (merlot)
2 cups Sprite Zero
2 1/2 cups orange juice
1 green apple, 1 red apple, 1 orange: all cut up in same size pieces
Directions:
Mix together all ingredients in a pitcher or punch bowl. Add ice and enjoy!
*Cheap red wine works best for the sangria. I buy, on Lauren’s suggestion, the Carlo Rossi Merlot jugs. It is about $15 for the huge bottle.

So beautiful! Perfect for a party. Glad you’re getting some great submissions (every time I see a yummy looking salad on another blog I tell them to submit). I am planning to finally get mine to you sometime soon

Yum!
I make a very similar drink for parties, nothing like fruit floating around in a punch bowl. Beautiful.

@Michelle @ Find Your Balance, I actually use seltzer sometimes instead of the soda- my favorite is the lime seltzer! Let me know how you like it!

I love that you use sprite zero here…and haha, this sangria looks so harmless, almost like an innocent fruit punch.
