Sangria - Helios 44-2 vintage lens

I always do one of these photos every summer, usually on the first 'hot day' of the year.

Well Saturday was a beautiful warm day and I made us some home made Sangria - Rioja, Orange juice, Lemonade a dash (or is it plug) of Spanish Brandy , various fruit (apples, oranges, satsumas, strawberry , blueberries ), chunks of ice , mixed in our Spanish Jug (all the way from Lidl, Arnold)

Delicious

Iconic! Your jug is wonderful and I bet the drink was delicious too! Just the thing for a hot day

@busylady thanks Judith , watch out for some nice ceramics (supply chain permitting) when lidl has a Spanish / Iberia week :)

Ooh nice. Great colours. Yes please.

[Phil Howcroft]

@boxplayer it was very nice , I also squeezed some fresh orange juice into the mix , maybe it tasted nice because it was the first one of the summer !

Looks divine. Please feel free to bring your Sangria-making skills to Canada any time.

[Dione Giorgio]

Wow, that looks very delicious. When can I come over for a glassful and perhaps for a chat? Joking. I have been many times to the UK, especially the Midlands, when my son was specializing in psychiatry and now it is no longer on my bucket list.
