We are excited to bring back one of our favorite series: Saturday Sips! Since we’ve had a very long, chilly winter season here in Portland, we thought we would start with a bright and citrus-y spring drink recipe. We’re ready for sunny weather and sangrias!
This easy-to-make beverage is a perfect signature drink for an outdoor party. Scroll down for all the details!

Josephine Guicciardi is the nom de plume of our creative Evermine blogger. With romantic connections to Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved” love letters, it is in keeping with the blog’s themes of love and joy. The great composer writes the famous words “ever thine, ever mine, ever ours” to a woman who remains a mystery to this day. Two of the most likely objects of his adoration are Josephine Brunsvik and Guilietta Guicciardi, and it’s from these two women that Josephine Guicciardi draws her persona.
