Thirsty Thursday ~ Citrusy Champagne Sangria

Ahhhhh.....the Power of Pinterest!  It brings us all together and sucks us all in to hours of time on the internet!


I LOVE this site and have found many crafts, recipes and of course, Thirsty Thursday ideas!

Kiran Tarun has created this YUMMY sounding sangria that I just HAD to share!  It will take some work, but I can't wait to try it this summer for a BBQ!
