Beat the heat with a refreshing recipe for The Best Frozen Sangria loaded with fresh fruit.
Today my little boy turns 2 years old. But before you start scrolling in anticipation of a sappy “someone stop time” post, allow me to direct your focus: alcohol slushies. I repeat, ALCOHOL SLUSHIES.
Do I have your attention now?
Yes indeed, today is Julian’s big second birthday. It’s hard to believe that two years ago today, I was pumped with Pitocin, stabbed in my spine with a foot-long needle (I see you, epidural) and popped out an 8-pound boy. If that doesn’t deserve a cocktail, then I don’t know what does.
So here we are, celebrating my sweet boy’s second year and toasting to all the amazing chaos that life with two little boys ages 2 and under entails.
Wine. It entails a lot of wine.
And the only thing better than wine, is wine with more alcohol. So I’ve taken a classic sangria recipe from my days living in Spain (should we recount Salmonella-gate?) and given it a frosty edge. But the real hero of this story is that blender jug up above. To recap:
- Wine
- More alcohol
- Blender jug
You see where I’m going with this, right? Forget the glasses. Skip the straws. Find your nearest garden hose and HAVE. AT. IT.
