SPANISH SANGRIA

i love red wine...and it's good for the heart! during the hot summer days (however rare in san francisco) it's hard to fully enjoy a glass of red wine because it's definitely not very quenching in the heat. so, what do you do? turn it into a refreshing sangria. i took a friend of mine to a cooking class for her birthday last year and the theme was spanish seaside . in addition to a fabulous paella, she made a sangria. sangria's are an easy, yet impressive cocktail option you can serve at any party. it says fun and classy. unfortunately, i lost all the recipes from that cooking class (this is part of the reason why i started a blog), so when i was planning a friend's bridal shower, i scoured the internet for a recipe. then, i found my ultimate go-to. it was perfect!

AVOCADO MILK DRINK

yeah, that's right an avocado drink...don't be scared! as a child, i grew up specifically perceiving avocados as a fruit. one of my mom's favorite things is this avocado recipe. p.s. i devoured this in 5 mins. AVOCADO MILK DRINK RECIPE 1 large ripe avocado 3 T sugar (more or less depending on your preference) 1/3 c milk half the avocado and remove the seed. scoop out into your cup. add sugar and mash together with the avocado. avocado will look slightly darkened when mixed together. mash the avocado to your discretion...if you like chunks of avocado, mash less...for something more smooth that you don't need to use a spoon, mash more. add milk and combine. enjoy...this may be a little out there for some, but i love it! there's nothing like "good" fats.
