With weekends as beautiful as this one, Sangria seems like the perfect drink to sip on outside. This Sangria is a twist on the traditional recipes that use brandy. Carmine’s uses Vermouth. Both recipes are slightly sweet and very refreshing. These are recipes are nice for a picnic, barbecue or party since the base of the drink can be made hours in advance.
Hopefully we can have gatherings again soon.
