I always like to have a nice variety of beverages at a kid’s birthday party, but I also like to include a fun adult beverage. Owen’s Lego themed party was in late April, so I wanted something light and refreshing.
I found a tasty recipe for a white Sangria and adapted it to make a crisp, sparkly cocktail. I called it Lego City Sangria. I think it was in the “everything is awesome” category!
You combine wine, fruit, simple syrup and triple sec and let it all marinate for a few hours or more. Then you pour into glasses and top with club soda or sparkling water such as La Croix or Dasani Sparkling. The recipe is below. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

This light, crisp white Sangria is the perfect sparkling cocktail for a warm Spring or Summer day.
