Summertime Sangria

This is the last of my girl weekend posts. Sigh. These girl weekend posts started with a cocktail (a Strawberry Slushi Cocktail to be exact), so why not end the girl weekend posts with another cocktail?

My friend Sarah had the idea to make sangria. So we stopped by Whole Foods to grab whatever random fruits appealed to us, ran by the ABC store for some Triple Sec, and mixed up our very own Summertime Sangria creation. After one taste of this drink, I'm convinced we should quit our day jobs and become full-time sangria makers. While this recipe is perfect and delicious as is, feel free to add any combination of fruits you would like.
