Spring Is In the Air; Sip a Rose Hip Sangria
Robert Doyle READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Spring is finally here-the temperature is warming up and the flora is starting to bloom. With the weather outside heating up, your cocktail glass should be cooling down with your favorite cocktail.
Sandeman, the world's leading port and sherry company, is celebrating the end of winter and welcoming warmer days and sunny skies by introducing you to another one of their crowd-pleasing sangrias.
Rose Hip Sangria embodies everything the season has to offer-floral notes, fruit flavors and that refreshing quality we look for in all warm-weather cocktails.
Whether you're gathering with friends at the beach in California or celebrating a sunny day on a rooftop in New York, make sure you mix up a pitcher of Sandeman Rose Hip Sangria.
