Happy New Year! This year, I (daughter) traveled to Broken Arrow, OK to ring in the new year with dear friends, tamales, and an amazing homemade New Mexico inspired chicken soup. What kind of a friend would I be if I didn't bring my famous sangria to wash it all down? Several years ago, I concocted this happy juice based on several recipes I'd found online. Most sangrias use club soda for the "fizzy" element. Club soda is for amateurs. I use champagne or sparkling wine instead of club soda. Mucho delicioso!! Try it...I promise you'll love it. And if you don't, bring it over and I'll finish it off for you!
