I love to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and each year host a huge party filled with Mexican inspired foods, desserts and drinks to compliment my “spread”. Over the years sangria has become one of my signature drinks present at most of my parties. After sampling hundreds of recipes I have combined my favorite ingredients to create the Ultimate Sangria (I dare you to have just one glass!). Like most of my recipes the best part about it is that it can (and should) be made well before your guests arrive once again leaving you with plenty of time to actually enjoy your own party (what a concept, huh!). Alright, I am sure you are on the edge of your keyboard eagerly awaiting the ingredient list to here you go…Try it and please let me knoe what you think!!

1 – Bottle Merlot
2 – Cups Orange Juice (Pulp-Free)
