Sangria Day!

Hello peeps!
Michaela here!
Today Jen and I made delicious adult drinks called "sangria". I documented the event!
(I also blogged the event after partaking of event..pls keep this in mind as you continue! :D )
What we used:
2 key limes
2 lemons
2 peaches
2 plums
1 orange
some grapes
some raspberries
some simple syrup
some peach liqueur
some club soda
a splash of pomegranate soda
a lot (whole bottle) of wine

First we used our fancy smancy mandolin to slice the citrus!

(limes, lemons, and orange)

Then we used our mandolin on 1 peach and 1 plum then diced the leftover peach and plum! (As much as I love using the mandolin...i also like some variety u_u )



After adding all this (plus some grapes and raspberries) to the pitcher of awesome, we had to make the simple syrup.

Its really simple to make...basically 1.5 cups water and 1 cup sugar.... put the sugar in the pot first, add the water, let sugar dissolve...DONT STIR :D

SMUSHING TIMEEEE!!!!!

SMUSHED!!

And now the good stuff! Add some peach (or whatever flavor) liqueur, some club soda (we used about half a bottle) (...for our first batch)..a splash of pomegranate soda.. and a whole (yes!) bottle of wine!

PRETTY!

Now, Pour, Drink, Enjoy! (Add stick of sugar cane for garnish/smushing purpose...and/or to soak up yummy-ness and chew on later >_> )
