Citrus-Infused Springtime Drinks

Cupcakes and Cashmere's Rose Sangria Merges Flavors

Cupcakes and Cashmere's Rose Sangria recipe was posted in anticipation of warm weather. For blogger Emily Schuman, sangria and summer are synonymous, making it a no brainer drink to focus upon here.

Schuman mixed up the standard sangria lot with blood oranges. Juice from the oranges was poured into ice cubes, freezing the citrus flavors together within the small chunks. While many also use white or red wines, she opted for rose, giving way to the beverage's light red coloring.

Diced apples and whole raspberries madefor the final touches, enabling the drink to take on a series of bold textures as they were thrown in loosely. This element of dimension will make for talk-worthy party refreshments.
