Spring is right around the corner so I thought I would make you something to brighten up your day! We’ve been waiting far too long for patio season, so I’m starting the party early with this Sangria Red Wine Punch.
Now you could probably call this a skinny sangria since I swapped out regular full-sugar juice for diet cranberry juice and diet soda. Skinny drinks = more drinks? Just kidding…
I love this recipe because the fruit soaks up the wine and juice, and so it’s perfectly juicy and flavorful when you drink it. It’s great for a party, or really any time you need something refreshing.
Let me know if you give it a try!

definately trying this.
Possible cookout tomorrow depending on the rain! If no rain then I well definitely be making this!
Looks bright and refreshing. I’m ready for spring and one of these!
I`m so with you. I`m always ready for spring to come. 🙂 This drink sure looks refreshing!
I cannot wait for patio season!! Too bad it’ll be awhile here in MN…. I suppose I could still make this and just daydream of warmer weather 🙂
I am so excited for it to be nice enough to have some cocktails outside. I want a whole pitcher of these with one straw 🙂
That looks so amazingly refreshing!
