Kevin's Special Sangrias...

I don't drink alcohol well I can but I don't drink it because of the amount of pain killers and medication I need to take but this drink is WOW...

When we went to Port Macquarie recently we went for a walk to the Motels bar it was on the waterfront and beautiful I saw a sign for Champagne Sangria's and thought I would try that instead of my normal water and come on we were on a mini holiday.....

This is the one we bought doesn't it look pretty I didn't realise it was potent as well...What do they say Beautiful and Deadly......

I didn't realise it had alcohol in it as the picture had all this strawberry's and melon in it and I thought it was just a name...

Boy was I wrong...

It was OK after the third mouthful I couldn't taste the wine any more so I got another one and for once I had the best sleep ever no waking up three or four times to take a pain killer I sleep nice and deep..

When we got home we  (Kevin ) decided to make our own...

We looked up Sangria's on Google and there is so many recipes it really seems that it is just a matter of taste...

Kev's Sangria...

A little Brandy...about a  nip or two
lemonade...2 small cans...
sparkling strawberry wine...We used 1 bottle of Australian bubbly...
chopped strawberries...
chopped watermelons ....
ice..I love ice in drinks the colder the better for me...

Mix in a jug

and hold on to your knickers this is great.....

This mix make four good size glasses so it is a good thing Kevin likes it as I can only drink 1glass  and a bit..

Yeah big drinker aren't I....

Come summer BB Q's I am going to make this up....

And don't you just love the jug we used.It was my Nana's and was in the china cabinet so when I was looking for a jug I found this and thought I am going to use it .It's silly to have pretty pieces just for show I am going to use them now...But I will just be extra careful as  I would die If something happen to it....

Hope you give this a try you can change whatever wine you want or use lemon drink instead of lemonade add more fruits you cant go wrong.

Super yummy.....
