This Lemon Meringue Sangria tastes just like Lemon Meringue Pie in a cocktail glass! A perfect refreshing drink to start off your weekend.
Happy First Day of Spring! Or something like that. Is it feeling like spring where you are? I have to say….even though we still have some snow on the ground, and we’re still wearing winter coats and hats and gloves….the fact that I can hear birds chirping makes all the difference. Because if there’s one sure sign of spring….it’s birds! Right!?!?
As much as I don’t love our long, cold winters….I do really love the fact that we have such distinct seasons. Because I really do think we appreciate them more! By the time one is coming to an end, we’re ready for the next one to begin. And I must say. I AM READY.
I’m ready for open windows and spring jackets and short sleeves. And even though I bought new boots this year that I love….I’m ready to exchange them for flats. Because….it’s time! I’m ready to eat outside and go for walks and actually see our neighbors. And even though I’m not a huge outdoor kind of person….I’m ready to breathe in some fresh air and cozy up on the patio with a pitcher of this Lemon Meringue Sangria.

Whipped cream flavoured vodka ,never heard of it? Where would you find such a vodka?

Whipped cream vodka can be found at most liquor stores. The 2 brands I know of are Smirnoff and Pinnacle. Hope you are able to find it!
