Ain’t nothing like a mojito on a hot summer day, unless of course it’s a Strawberry Mojito and then it’s even better! After I had plied my friend Anita with enough sangria to make a grown man weep recently, she decided to return the favour and pulled out this Strawberry Mojito at a Wednesday night …
I am in no way encouraging you to partake in these alcoholic beverages. No sirree bob. I am no enabler. BUT if you do occasionally imbibe then here are my best summer drink recipes for 2013. In the meantime I’ll work hard and research my tooshie off for you to have new drinks for next …

This is the second sangria recipe that I decided is worthy of you. Remember the first one? The Loosey Goosey Boozy Boozy Sangria? Original name, right? Well this one is equally as inventive. It’s the Very Berry Sangria. Please, for the love of good sangria, do not confuse it with that Boone’s crap you can …
I first published this recipe for a classic sangria way back in 2012, and gave it the awful name of “loosey goosey boozy boozy sangria”.
