Fat & Happy: Mexican Tequila White Wine Sangria

It’s been a long, cold Spring to the point where scarves and mittens are still being donned the last week of May. No doubt Google searches for warm weather vacations spiked over this unusual last month in the Chicago area!

But sun is in the forecast and Memorial Day BBQ’s are back on the calendar. Aromas of burgers and grilled potato salad will be lofting through the streets to tickle our senses into summer mode. Overlooking a cocktail at this point would be devastating; sure you could bring in any number of craft beers to pair with the grilled goods, but beers are available year round. Try mixing up a super simple batch of Tequila White Wine Sangria and elevate your party by a notch.

This Mexican Sangria plays the classic tequila and lime flavor against a crisp white wine with a super fresh and light punch to the senses. العاب تربح مال Put away the winter wear and welcome warmth with a fun, flavorful, Fat and Happy Sangria.

Many Sangria’s call for ginger ale or 7-up for the addition of bubbles including my classic red wine sangria; I wanted a cleaner flavor with the tequila and felt these would be too sticky and sweet for my tastes so opted for a club soda. But again, make it your way, and make it yours!

One final thought is that pineapple juice could be substituted for the apple juice. This will mask the tequila a bit and give an even sweeter drink- if you prefer.
