This year we hosted Thanksgiving at our home with our new farmhouse table! I was pretty excited to be able to fit everyone at one table + be able to cook all the scrumptious sides! I then added a twist to my planning: I was on a mission this Thanksgiving to create a really fun holiday beverage! I looked up several recipes and decided to make my own! I I created three versions of this sangria pretty much accidentally–sweet, semi-sweet, and dry. Zack and I really enjoyed the nice blend of the semi-sweet, but I will show you the variations we used below!
