CHAMPAGNE SANGRIA

This PINK CHAMPAGNE SANGRIA is utterly perfect for New Years, but also awesome for
Valentine’s Day, wedding showers, and every day in between. It’s a great pairing of sweet from the Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato and tart from the Grapefruit juice, with some pomegranate juice tossed in to keep us on our toes. The secret ingredient is an easy Mint Simple Syrup, because we want things to be classy when we celebrate! I’m really proud of this delicious cocktail and I hope it makes your NYE festivities all the more festive!
