Tropical Orange Mango Sangria

Can I get an amen that the weather is finally getting warmer!?  This weekend, it was glorious outside and finally made me so excited for the season.

Patio, grilling and pool weather is right around the corner, and I’m getting a head start with this Tropical Orange Mango Sangria, which is refreshing and the perfect drink to cool you down.

Within the next month, we have a lot to celebrate in this household.  First is my husband’s birthday, then my children’s birthday (which falls on the same day), Memorial Day, and then our anniversary at the beginning of June.  Celebratory sips all around.

I love to serve up delicious cocktails whenever we have friends over, but I don’t prefer to play bartender all night in the kitchen.  Insert Sangria. The perfect drink to serve a crowd and get you outta the kitchen and into the party.

As I said, this weekend was beautiful, and I wasted no time stirring up a delicious drink to celebrate on the patio.

I headed to my local grocery store and hit the alcohol aisle running.  Thoughts swirled through my head as to what to grab and make. What if people drop by?  It’s also going to be great weather on Sunday, so what can we serve both days?

Then I spotted the Smirnoff Spiked Sparkling Seltzer variety pack.  Within the box are some delicious flavors including:

• • Cranberry Lime
  • Berry Lemonade
  • Watermelon
  • Orange Mango

I don’t know about you, but when the weather is warm, the last thing I want to be drinking and cooling myself down with is a heavy, overly sugary drink.  Smirnoff Spiked Sparkling seltzer is the ideal drink for any occasion.

They contain zero sugar, only 1 gram of carbs and 90 calories per can*!  I have just found my new beverage of choice for all summer long!

They come in slim cans, which makes them portable and easy to carry to the beach, picnic and boating, and with all of those delicious flavors, you’ll never be bored.

I decided to take these babies to the next level and mix the Orange Mango into a delicious tropical sangria.

I also added some adorable flair to them with these cute Printable Tropical Straw Flags.  These flags would be great for parties, graduations and weekend celebrating because life deserves to be cute (to download, right-click and hit save as)!

Into a pitcher, I combined 2 bottles of wine and Coconut Pineapple water.  I then sliced up a bunch of fruit: limes, oranges, mangos and pineapple to mimic the flavor of the seltzer.  I placed a few slices into each glass, added the wine mixture and then topped it off with Orange Mango Smirnoff Spiked Sparkling Seltzer.

This Tropical Orange Mango Sangria is a refreshing and tropical beverage to whisk you away to the islands.
