Sparkling Citrus Sangria

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dr Pepper Snapple Group for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

sparkling citrus sangriaIt’s Mommy Juice time again, and this sparkling citrus sangria disappeared quickly during taste testing! Mommy Juice is quickly becoming my favorite series.  Easy, tasty drinks you can whip up without a bartending course? A total win! Not gonna lie, I’m pretty sure our friends love this series the most.  I mean, someone has to test all the drinks.

Tis the season to be……sparkling! As the holidays speed on, I’m already thinking about sparkling, fun cocktails for New Year’s Eve and then recreating them for spring festivities.  I love a light, sparkling cocktail! For this Mommy Juice post, I decided to create a sparkling citrus sangria……perfect for New Year’s cocktail parties.  The best part about this? You make it in advance, so no need to mix drinks during the festivities!

Best times to serve this delicious cocktail?

A new year’s brunch with a DIY omelette bar and a fresh fruit salad.

A new year’s cocktail party along with a cheese platter, dried fruits and cured meats.

Spring bridal showers along with petit fours and finger sandwiches.

Summer BBQs with grilled salmon and a pineapple salad.

I did it.⠀ ⠀ 🛏I spent Saturday night blissf I did it.⠀
⠀
🛏I spent Saturday night blissfully alone at a local hotel.  And now? I want to talk about it.  I was floored by the varied reactions when I mentioned doing this last week.  A lot of people seemed to love the idea, but a solid amount? Asked why.  Said it was a waste.  Said it was “too much”. So let’s unpack that.⠀
⠀
🛏First of all, of course different things are of value to different people.  This may not be of value to you and that is OK.  For me? After a year of staying at home here in California (and yes, it’s still going here with full time virtual school for Lydia)…..I felt like I needed an evening alone to decompress, to rest, and to be more present for my family.  I watched a million episodes of Scandal (how did I never watch this show??), got take out delivered, slept in, and it MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.⠀
⠀
🛏Does it make me a bad mother? A bad wife? Irresponsible with money or time? To spend an evening alone? That’s sort of what society tells us, right? And truth be told, I almost cancelled.  Was it too much? Was I being dramatic? Or ridiculous?  But the refreshed me today? Says it was just what I needed.⠀
⠀
🛏This is your daily dose of encouragement to take care of yourself and put your oxygen mask on first so you can truly be present for those you love.  I promise, it makes a difference. #troopselflove

❤️It’s Random Acts of Kindness Day…..and I have a question for you…….when was the last time you did an act of kindness for YOURSELF?⠀
⠀
💕I was talking on stories the other day about booking a hotel room to get away for a night this weekend.  ALONE.  The reaction was mixed.  Some said it was a great idea. Some said it was selfish or unnecessary. But, what if it’s simply to do something for myself?  What if it leaves me refreshed and more able to show up for those I love? That’s what kindness to yourself does.⠀
⠀
❤️I know, we can’t all escape for a night.  So these? Some easy acts of kindness that may work in your life and schedule:⠀
💕watch a show you love alone ⠀
💕take a long, relaxing bath with fancy bubbles⠀
