Texas Legato Sangria

 

2 cups Texas Legato Sweet Surrender

2 cups Cranberry Juice

2 cups Sprite

1 ½ cups Orange Juice

Add any fruit you enjoy.

 

We paired this during our Picnic Road Trip with watermelon and goat cheese.  Fresh goat cheese is available 1/4 mile on CR 111 at the Bradley Goat Farm.  This is great on a hot day as a pool side cold beverage or to take on a picnic.
