A few Sundays ago, I invited my gal pal, Arim, to make sangria with me. This was the first time I had a hand model to work with, and my goodness, it made a huge difference. Usually it’s just me – setting up the tripod and turning on the internal shooting timer. With Arim there, I was able to stage her and take perfect shots behind the camera. It was marvelous.
We made “girly” sangria using wintery citruses and sweet Asian fruits, like lychee and pears. We stirred in rose and ginger ale, so it was nice and sweet. It was definitely my kind of libation, which is why I named it Sprig and Flours sangria.
It’s the perfect drink for a feminine event, but I wouldn’t discriminate – I bet it would be a hit at your super bowl party too!

How refreshing, yum! I have a bottle or Rose, and I think I know what I’m going to do with it now 😉
