Mexican Sangria

Here's another lovely drink recipe from Pinterest. We enjoyed this refreshing Mexican sangria in the hot 90 degree weather on Memorial Day in Chicago. Not a bad way to spend the afternoon!

Mexican Sangria

adapted from Design Sponge

Ingredients:

1 bottle of red wine

1 cup of tequila

1/2 cup of oj

Sliced red or green apples, watermelon, oranges, mangoes, etc (whatever you want, really)

In a large pitcher, mix the red wine through the fruit (in that order).

Add ice to chill (if serving in the near future) OR cover and refrigerate overnight so the ingredients can all blend nicely together.

Put a few ice cubes into each glass, pour the sangria, add some freshly chopped fruit, and enjoy on a hot, summer day!

If you have any other tried and true versions of sangria recipes, please do share!

Delicious Iced Coffee

This tasty recipe comes from Food52 via good ol' Pinterest. My goal is to actually try to make some of the things that I pin so here's one of hopefully many more.

Sweet Cinnamon Iced Coffee

Serves 2-4

Ingredients:

2/3 cups coarsely ground coffee

1 tsp cinnamon

3 cups water

3 tbsp dark brown sugar

milk, half and half, cream

Mix ground coffee, cinnamon, water, and dark brown sugar in jar that holds at least 3 cups of liquid.

Cover and refrigerate overnight to let all the goodness blend together.

Pour the coffee mixture through a strainer into a bowl. Strain back into the jar.

Fill a glass about halfway with ice. Pour in coffee and add milk/half and half/cream to desired taste.

Enjoy! My sister, who was in town for the weekend, and I enjoyed ours together.
