#RECIPE: JACOB’S CREEK MOSCATO CITRUS SANGRIA

Earlier this week I stumbled upon the Jacob's Creek Moscato Pop-Up Shop.

I posted a Photo on Facebook of this Citrus Sangria they concocted and got a ton of "likes", so I thought I'd share the Recipe with you too. I plan to make it next time I have Friends over! Recipe: 1 bottle of Jacob's Creek Moscato 3/4 cup of ABSOLUT Citron ... Read more
