I woke up this morning and it was chilly. It felt like the seasons were just starting to change. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I love the heat! I love Summer! I love wearing shorts and burning my legs on my leather seats! Alas, in no time, we will be wearing boots and jeans and squishy, comfy sweaters and jackets. Ok ok... so fall won't be that bad after all. :)

While we are savoring the last moments of summer. I wanted to share with you a delicious sangria recipe I found on...yes, Pinterest! This recipe is different in that it uses champagne (or Prosecco) and not a red wine. I find red wine sangrias to be less flavorful. One with champers though... oh hell yes!

First, add 2 jiggers of orange liqueur or Grand Marnier to a cup of sugar to a glass jar. Also, have a chilled bottle (or 2) of champagne ready to go.

Then, cut up fruit and add it to the mixture and stir thoroughly. You can even mash the fruit a little so the juice will macerate.

Place the concoction in the refrigerator for no less than 45 minutes. When your guests arrive, open up a bottle of champagne and pour! Depending on how many people I have, I'll add another botttle. With 1 bottle of champagne added, it serves 4 wine glasses.

Voila! Deliciouso! I've served this at a few of my get-togethers at home and its been a hit!
