As mentioned in my Valentines day blog on 15th of February, the Brazilians celebrate the dia dos namorados (lovers day), today on the 12th of June. But very much in the same fashion as the february counterpart to boost the sales of flower shops, lingerie stores, restaurants and chocolatiers! So flower and chocolate prices have soared from an already indecent high!
Over the weekend we had friends over for a spanish inspired feast of Paella and Flan:
and what better way to start the evening than with my own take on a light and easy Sangria – here comes the recipe for 4
- 1 bottle of Spanish red wine – Rioja or Tempranillo, chilled
- 100ml of dry white martini
- 100ml orange juice, chilled
- 1 orange skin on cut into cubes
- 1 lemon skin on cut into cubes
Marinate the orange and lemon in the martini for a couple of hours. Add the chilled red wine and orange juice and stir well. Serve! Couldn”t be easier yummy summer drink!
