Summer means sangria. Whether you’re lounging poolside or enjoying dinner under the stars, every summer memory is made better with a glass of sangria. While sangria is traditionally made with red wine; our version gets a lighter twist with crisp white wine. With some sweet fruit, a little citrus, and some fresh mint, you’ll be raising a glass to celebrate summer evenings over and over again. Recipe by Poe and Co.
