Pineapple Mango Sparkling Sangria

What a nice weekend!  On Friday, I was able to partake in Spa Night with the ladies.


Love these girls!  I miss seeing them everyday at my past job, but I'm so thankful we're still able to get together.

Another thing we had in common was being dedicated to working out.  I'm not going to lie, having someone to push you and encourage you to do different workouts is definitely motivational!  We reached some major goals at the gym!  I miss you ladies!
Nonetheless after a long week, a spa night was definitely in order!  We had a nice spread with a lot of delicious food,  got pampered with silly face masks/hair masks, hit the hot tub, polished nails, and caught up on each other's lives.


Yay.

I also brought a new sangria recipe for the occasion.

This is by Jose Garces and I found it on Oprah.com.

It is Pineapple Mango Sparkling Sangria!  It's so refreshing and best of all, it doesn't have any added sugar or sweeteners. It's basically a bottle of sweet white wine, a bottle of brut, mango and pineapple!  I'm making this again for sure.

Ingredients:
1 bottle sweet white wine (I used Fetzer's Gewurztraminer)
2 cups pineapple, cubed
1 mango, peeled, pitted and cubed
1 bottle Brut (I used Korbel)
1 lime, thinly sliced, as a garnish
1 pinch of saffron (optional) 

1.  In a large pitcher or punch bowl, stir together all ingredients except Brut and lime slices. Refrigerate 2 hours or as long as overnight.
2. When ready to serve, slowly pour in Brut, stirring gently. Pour the sangria into ice-filled glasses. Garnish with lime slices and serve.

That's all there is to it!

Cheers and until the next ladies night!
