Binny's Home Bartender: Sangria
Nothing says summer like a big pitcher of sangria. The best part of mixing up sangria is that you can make it completely your own. Kiwi? Sure! Honey? Go for it! Brandy? The more the merrier. We like to mix ours with a splash of pineapple juice and Cognac. As for the wine, we like to use Underwood - in cans - because it adds a nice light, fruitiness to the mix, not to mention is super convenient. Check out the recipe below and let us know what you think!
