These are two of my favorite cocktails for they are beautiful, refreshing, and bursting with intense flavors. They’re also extremely easy to make a lighter version, if you’d like to lessen the calories – just substitute the simple syrup for ½ – 1 packet of Stevia or other sweetener (start with less and use as much as you need to taste!).

Spiked Rosé Sangria
LVP Sangria is a delicious, light, thirst-quenching sangria straight from Valencia, Spain. Already infused with fruits and spices, LVP Sangria pairs perfectly with vodka for a beautiful Spring twist on a classic Sangria.
As LVP Sangria is all natural and lower in calories than most sangrias (similar in calories to wine), this cocktail is lighter than you’d expect and absolutely delicious!

Ice
Preparation
