Thursdays are for happy bubbly things, am I right?!

Since it isn’t Friday, I feel like we all need a little something to raise our spirits so we can get through the last day before the first official Spring weekend rolls in.

Are you starting to feel the changing of the seasons yet? 

Even if the weather is being true to form for Colorado (see: random snow storms, gorgeous sunny days, and intense wind), I am starting to see it in small ways. The sun is out later. The fruits and vegetables are changing in the store.

All signs point to warmer weather and a whole new menu to play with.

To celebrate all things Spring, I figured we all need a refreshing sipper to tickle our noses and bounce all over our taste buds.

Whether you have a girls happy hour coming up, an Easter brunch, or simply need a way to use up all those berries you started stocking up on, this easy-to-make sangria is pure perfection.

With a homemade raspberry simple syrup to counter the tartness of the berries, this recipe gives a fresh zing of flavor with every single sip.

I personally recommend using a dry champagne for this recipe so it doesn’t come out too sweet when you put it all together.

However, if all you have access to is prosecco or moscato, simply halve the amount of simple syrup you add to the sangria. Then add double the amount of raspberries and add a couple of fresh mint sprigs to the pitcher. It will be a little sweeter but it won’t completely blow out your taste buds. 😉

So as the weather starts warming up and the flowers begin to blossom, take a seat on your porch with a glass full of bubbly bliss. Isn’t it time we all slowed down to watch the seasons change?
