RECIPE OF THE MONTH: WHITE & ROSÉ SANGRIA
Some people have all the passion: When our founder Jo Marie isn’t crafting recipes for monthly specials at The Mixx and Caffetteria, she’s crafting recipes to share with friends. Lucky for us, sangria has been on her patio menu this summer!
Here are her Jo Marie’s recipes for both white and rosé sangrias. (Hint hint, we’ll share her red sangria recipe soon too, perfect for fall nights.) Enjoy.
