Though not strictly traditional, this fruity summer sangria might just become a new favorite!

I’ve never had much of a sweet tooth when it comes to cocktails – or, as a matter of fact, to any beverage. So, unsurprisingly, you’ll find no sugar added to this sangria. Here I rely on the natural sweetness of the pomegranate juice and the Cointreau to give the sugar-pop you’d expect in any normal summer punch. But that’s not all: a splash of fresh lime juice adds a juicy acidity that makes this homemade sangria truly mouthwatering.

And don’t forget to bite into the tangy kumquats between sips… cin cin!
