It’s widely known that some of the most creative minds—like Picasso or Gaudi—hail from Spain, and that the country abounds with beautiful creatures that are the stuff of men’s and women’s dreams, like Penélope Cruz or Rafael Nadal. And, Barcelona is Spain’s design Mecca . . . But sadly, this article touches on not a one of these tantalizing topics.

You guessed it—by popular request and after months of anticipation, it is finally time to reveal the recipe for my famous prize-winning sangria. You’ll want to write this down—my sangria is going to make you a very popular party host this summer! ; )

SANGRIIIIIIIIA!

- 1 bottle Spanish red wine

- 700 ml Orangina

- 1 can Dr Pepper

- 4 oz. Triple sec (or other citrus liqueur)

- 3 oz. rum

- 1 bag frozen berries (eliminating the need for ice cubes—and no washing or chopping required!)

Obviously, I urge you to adjust the recipe as you see fit—but the portions of wine, Orangina, and Dr Pepper are non-negotiable! Double, triple, quadruple the recipe . . . the sky’s the limit!

Salud!
