The BEST Sangria Recipe. I know.

The BEST Sangria Recipe

Bold recipe title coming from a passionate (and opinionated!) Sangria lover. But I’ll stand by it. This really is the best sangria recipe I have ever tasted so far. And it’s all thanks to one secret ingredient…. Can you spot it floating in there? Yes, you do spy with your little eye something “green” — ARUGULA! I have to admit that I did a double-take too when I saw my favorite green floating in a beautiful pitcher of red sangria on my recent trip to California with Dole. But since I am slightly obsessed with arugula, and sangria is my drink of choice in the summer, I had to investigate. Sure enough, it was brilliant. So good, in fact, that I had to come home and make it for my friends. For sure, the addition of fresh arugula was definitely a conversation topic. The result? However you make it, I just highly recommend inviting a bunch of friends over and trying it soon.
