Easy Sangria – Ginger Pear
Several years ago, our Biggest Little went out of town for a weekend of dirt biking and other fun adventures with Hubby. Part of their excursion included a visit to an epic candy shop.
My boy came back with a concoction of sweets for his brothers. Then he unwrapped a special tin of ginger-pear candies for me. Heart melt. The boy knows I’m smitten with all things dark chocolate and anything gingery. I still have that empty tin.
Ginger pear is a classic taste bud combination and it’s one of my favorites. From candy to tea. From cake to sangria.
Let’s camp a bit on that last one and sing praises for sangria, shall we? Many people favor sangria over all other cocktails. I get it…200% get it.
Sangria can be red or white. Dreamy or lighthearted. Fruity, crisp, or sparkly. It’s the versatile, fun, and make-ahead drink.
The make-ahead part is always my favorite part. I prefer to relax and mingle, rather than stress over mixing drinks while holding conversations at the same time. I’m just not that talented.
Here’s how we pre-make this easy, delicious Ginger Pear Sangria…
