Let’s chat about the drink that made me realize why the Outback isn’t just about steaks – their Blackberry Sangria.
After one too many ‘I swear I’m just here for the sangria’ visits, I decided it was time to bring this purple marvel into my home bar repertoire. This recipe is the fruit of my labor (pun absolutely intended) and many, many taste tests (it’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it).
It’s fruity, it’s refreshing, and it has this magical ability to transport you to a sun-drenched vineyard, even if you’re just in your kitchen on a Tuesday night.
Word of caution: this sangria has been known to make people spontaneously book flights to wine country. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
