SPARKLING ROSÉ SANGRIA

My favorite Mondays end with a cocktail, but why can’t they also begin with one??

Oh yeah, because I have a toddler, and I’m pretty sure it would be considered negligent parenting if I were to consume alcoholic beverages prior to 9am. At least we can start with cocktails on Monday morning in blog land. Isn’t the Internet a wonderful place??
