Cherry Blossom Sangria

The only good part about snow on Easter? It made me appreciate more than ever DC’s 70 degrees and sunny forecast with more than a chance of seeing cherry blossoms! After what felt like an never-ending winter, spring and sunshine are here.

I can’t wait for the weekend to venture out and see the cherry blossoms!! There are a few here and there in my neighborhood but I’ve made peace with the fact that to see the blossoms in all their glory, I have to brave the crowds and go to the National Mall.

You know what helps buck up the gumption to handle a large crowd? Sangria.

So let’s bottle up the sunshine and beautiful blossoms into a cherry sangria, shall we?

This cherry sangria is practically liquid spring!! Crisp, tart cherry juice mixed with tart rosé (snaps to @ReaganBurress for recognizing Green Fin rosé from the cork on my IG pic, clearly a kindred spirit!) topped with a splash of lime tonic + garnished with orange slices. I told you, it’s like spring but in sangria form.

Which is the very best form. Except for maybe taco form.
