The holiday season is behind us but that doesn't mean we have to stop the party! In anticipation of many cold nights in, here is a simple, quick, and delicious recipe for a sangria inspired by mulling spices. I served some to the stylish ladies at the Planet Blue Holiday Party. Check out the video below to check it out!
