Family. Friends. Food. Fireworks.
The 4 "F's" of Independence Day. At least in our household. We loving have friends over for get-togethers; most are impromptu but when we can plan, we go all out. This year we had a quaint group of about 20 plus some kiddos and we sure had a blast! While the kids played in the pool, the adults were able to sit and relax and consume a few adult beverages.
While I am particularly fond of the new crazed Hard Seltzer waters (my favorite here), I do love when I am able to make sangria to enjoy. This year, I made a super easy patriotic themed sangria that was gone in under 30 minutes.
What I love about this SUPER easy sangria recipe is how simple it is to make. It looks gorgeous, and with the density of the berries, it layers nicely. Not to mention it tastes great and it is really refreshing!
We ended the evening with a spectacular fireworks show! We had purchased a slew of fireworks from a stand up in Indiana on our way back down to Tennessee, and were sure glad we did. Being originally from Indiana, I do think that is the best state to purchase fireworks. We were able to get some 5" mortars that we were unable to purchase in Tennessee. We had quite a show!
