We also think a sangria with all of it’s fruity flavors would be a great choice. And not to be forgotten, a classic citrus combination of orange and peach accompanied by white wine is always a win. Margaritas are also a fantastic, slushy way to cool off this summer, and lend themselves well to being frozen into popsicles.
