Sangria swirled throughout the base margarita makes a delicious festive treat. Subtle wine notes weave sweetness in with traditional citrus tart of the margarita. This wonderful frozen treat is easily accomplished with simple blender and freezer. No need for slushy machines at home. Added bonus… the base recipe without sangria added makes a great variation on the traditional margarita. It’s like two cocktails in one! Now that’s something to celebrate.
