Sunday brunching is better when there’s refreshing cocktails involved. Don’t you agree?! Although I’m a mimosa kind of gal at heart, I don’t mind switching up my drink of choice every now and again. With spring in full swing, and summer on the way, I’m highlighting some lovely flavors of the season with a quick and easy floral-citrus sangria, that will pair perfectly with your Sunday brunch favorites.
Last week Whole Foods opened in our city, and I couldn’t pass up on the pink and red edible roses that I found, or the fresh blood oranges. I paired the two with my favorite Sauvignon Blanc, Thatcher’s Organic Blood Orange Liqueur, a dash of rose-water and simple syrup. And voila!
The Sangria is made by the glass in advance and can be topped with club soda upon serving.
Feminine, floral, chic and a brunch must.

In addition to Sunday sipping and brunch, I envision this Blood Orange Sangria being served at an afternoon luncheon, bridal shower or elegant birthday celebration.
So fitting for the warm months ahead!

What a beautiful drink Brandi! I love the addition of the edible rose and the blood orange slice. I can only image how delightful it tastes. it’s the perfect refreshment to gaze into the sky for the red planet and the coming blood moon. 🙂
Aw, thank you!!! I found those edible roses at Whole foods and knew I had to get them! Their fragrance pairs so nicely with the blood orange. Great idea for sipping whilst watching for the red planet and blood moon, I hadn’t even thought of that but so true!!
