Alcoholic Party Drink Recipes – Citrus Burgundy Sangria

By Rebecca Garcia

Outdoor entertaining is always popular in summer, especially when the gathering is a casual one. You can start the party rolling with cool refreshing drinks and a few simple appetizers to get everyone in the mood for some backyard grilling

In our family, Sangria is a huge hit at summer gatherings. It's a Spanish-style cocktail, made with red wine and fruits; very refreshing, easy to make, cheap and cheery.

There're many different variations of Sangria – you can make it as strong or as weak as you like, some use white wine and they called it Sangria Blanca, some add nectarines and peaches – in short, play around with the recipe but the downside is, it needs time to sit so be sure to plan ahead. Here's our favorite Sangria recipe:
