Summer Thyme Sangria Will Ease You Right Into the Weekend!
Refreshing Summer Thyme Sangria will ease you right into the weekend. I mean shoes off, feet up, summer breeze blowing in your hair. Are you with me?

Use your favorite fruits of the season with a bottle of nice crispy white wine.

Now that the whole world is caught in a smoothie, vegenator, super blender craze I envision the Bloody Mary reborn. We’ve already fallen in love with Green Bloody Mary’s and recently enjoyed a version made with Sake as well.
