Warm Winter Berry Sangria

Warm Winter Berry Sangria - Sarcastic Cooking

Not to sound like a total booze hound, but now that Andy is here, I am so excited that I can enjoy an adult beverage or two again!!! Over the weekend we got about four inches of snow here in Chicago. It was the perfect day to snuggle up with a warm little baby, a big fluffy blanket, and sip on something warm.

Over the summer I worked on a campaign for EPIC Vodka. It was hard thinking about festive drinks and cold snowy weather in the middle of the summer, but I managed just fine. And since I was pregnant, Mike was happy to oblige as my taste-tester. I was a little apprehensive because, as I have stated on the blog before, Mike doesn’t have the most refined palate.

After sitting at home and cooking up a batch of this warm crock pot sangria and watching the snow fall, I feel totally comfortable trusting Mike’s taste in food and beverage. That might just be the booze talking though!

Pop over here to get the recipe for this sangria, along with a Coconut Mintini, Apple Pie Martini, or a Dairy Free Almond Irish Coffee.

    I love the idea of a warm sangria with wintery flavors in it. I always see it as a summer drink but it’s great to see another kind!

    Sounds like it’d be great for a party since it’s made in the crockpot!

    Ohhh heavens. If this is what you shake up when you’re pregnant and it’s a million degrees out, I can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with next. This looks perfect!

    Kudos to you for going nine months without booze. I’d definitely have trouble with that task. Love the sounds of this sangria!
