Grapefruit Sangria

Grapefruit Sangria

This was a refreshingly delicious drink that I adapted from Will Cook for Smiles! It called for a bottle of White Zin but who could resist Pink Moscato?!?! #notme

I made this for the 4th of July brunch and boy am I glad I didn't invite anyone over! Was almost upset when I saw the hubs sipping on some but given the amount he had I figured I was safe.

Here's the recipe, you won't be disappointed.
