Peachy Summer Sangria

I always like to have a special drink for our guests when we entertain.  Recently, we had some good friends over for dinner before the four of us went to see a musical being performed at our neighborhood playhouse.  We saw The 25th Annual Putnam Country Spelling Bee.  Mr. Right and I saw it in New York City a while back and enjoyed seeing it again.  It’s really cute, poignant, and funny all at the same time.  The drink I mixed up for us was a peachy summer sangria, and I found the recipe in the Chevy Chaser, a monthly magazine published for residents in our neighborhood.  Both men and women like sangria, and I hoped it would be a hit, and it was.

Sangria is great with any meal.  It doesn’t need to be served with a Mexican feast.  Since we were having a quick meal before the play, I served beef barbeque, spicy Asian slaw, corn and tomato salad, and homemade chocolate pudding for dessert.  We all loved it.

Take care.
