Welcome to the final day, Day #6 of Kick Off to Summer Week, a multi-blogger event co-host by Lauren of From Gate to Plate and Summer of Summer Scraps.
With summer quickly approaching and Memorial Day in a few weeks, we wanted to make sure you had plenty of ideas for your Memorial Day activities. For the past six days we have been serving up a variety of different appetizers, main dishes, desserts, decor, printables and more all centered around the up-coming Memorial Day.
We hope you enjoyed all of these wonderful ideas and thank you for tuning in each day. We have great prizes up for grabs and you will not want to miss out on any of the days! Be sure to check out previous days out here. Follow #KickOffToSummerWeek2014 on Twitter to keep up to date with all of our spectacular ideas and giveaways!
I'm finishing up this week with a refreshing drink - Red, White and Blue Sangria.
Traditonally, sangria is made with fruit (citrus and apple), brandy and red wine. This {patriotic} favorite of mine uses raspberries {red}, blueberries {blue}, rum and sparkling {white} wine for a refreshing alternative.
Using frozen raspberries eliminates the need for ice to keep these tasty drinks cold on a hot summer day!
Before you get to my recipe, you will want to check out the rest of my blogger friends who've participated in this great event and show them how much you've enjoyed this week... drop them a line and show some love!
