Chef Lorious on WJLA “Good Morning Washington” – Seasonal Sangrias

Nothing says summer quite like a Sangria! Well, be prepared to go beyond everything you thought you knew about sangrias. I created four unique sangria recipes that will blow your mind:

The Island Sangria – A white wine-based sangria featuring tropical fruit and spiced rum. You’ll feel like you’re sitting on a beach in the Caribbean enjoying steel drums and ocean waves.

The Mang’ria – A white wine-based sangria featuring tequila and triple sec. Yup—you heard right! This is what happens when Sangria meets Margarita and they go on a date. The drink is finished off with a mango sugar/salt rim. You won’t know if you’re enjoying a glass of flavorful wine or an actual margarita!

Berry Passionate Sangria – A red wine-based sangria featuring blueberry-infused vodka and passion fruit juice. The blueberries and the passion fruit juice are the stars of this show. But I gotta be honest, without the blueberry vodka you may miss the sweet kiss this drink has for you!

The Fizz’N Berry – A red wine-based sangria featuring Grand Marnier. Blackberries and raspberries mixed with the beautiful richness of orange-flavored cognac is an intoxicating blend (pun intended). Don’t forget to top it off with a Rose sparkling wine so you don’t miss the fizz!
