It's Wednesday! I'll drink to THAT! {Blackberry Smash Recipe}

I'm a firm believer that a day like Wednesday deserves a drink..... and the Blackberry Smash is an awesome Sangria for such an auspicious occasion.  


HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED:

• Simple Syrup
• Cane Syrup {or honey}
• Lime juice
• OJ
• Cabernet
• Shiraz
• Blackberries

HERE'S WHAT YOU DO to make 4 "servings" :

• Stop at Publix on your way home.
• gather requirements and hurry home {going the speed limit of course}
• Muddle 4 oz Simple Syrup and 2 oz cane syrup with 12 blackberries; then add 4 oz lime juice, 8 oz OJ, 8 oz Cabernet, 8 oz Shiraz. 

Ideally allow to chill in fridge for an hour to allow flavors to meld while you help the kids with the homework, fold a load of laundry, wash the dishes....or not.  It's Wednesday after all, can't be up all night so you may want a glass WHILE you help the kids with the homework, fold a load of laundry, wash the dishes.

Whenever you're ready, strain into a large wine glass over ice & garnish with a couple black berries, lime & orange wedges.  Ahhhhhhh, half way to the weekend!

p.s. It keeps well if you want leftovers for Thirsty Thursday.... Just sayin'
