Firecracker Sangria


Can’t get enough of the sweet and spicy combination? Me either, that's why I developed this delicious sangria recipe that's sweet, spicy, summery and perfect for the 4th of July! 
Ingredients

1 cup Watermelon Chunks
1 Peach, cut into slices
1 Mango, cut into cubes
1 cup Strawberries, sliced
1 cup Pineapple Chunks
1 cup Blueberries
1 Jalapeño Pepper, ribbed, seeded, and cut in half lengthwise
½ cup Triple Sec
1 750 ml bottle Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio
1 lemon, juiced

Instructions

1. Add fruit and pepper halves to a large pitcher and pour curacao over the top of it.
2. Add wine and lemon juice and stir until mixed.
3. Place in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Check the spiciness of the sangria and remove pepper halves if it’s spicy enough for you. You can let the remaining mix sit another day or serve. We let ours go 24 hours, removed the pepper halves, and then served that day.
4. Fill glasses with ice and pour out sangria. Scoop out some of the fruit to add to the glasses and serve!

Light a couple batches of these refreshing and spicy sangrias and enjoy the fireworks in the air and in your mouth! Wishing everyone a Happy 4th of July!
