unlike many members of my family, i do not agonize before making decisions, i actually enjoy the process.   there is one decision that gets me every time though, what to drink before dinner.  my husband, jonah and i often go to dinner with friends and when we meet for a drink before dinner, i get completely stuck.  cocktails just don’t do it for me and i always end up with a glass of wine which somehow just doesn’t feel right.

i love when my sisters come to visit. emily and jonathan were in town recently for a wedding and were able to come over for dinner on friday night with our parents.  i was browsing through my most recent issue of gourmet, trying to decide what to make when i stumbled across this delicious sangria recipe.

it is unlike any other sangria that i have tasted and green is really the best way to describe it.  made from granny smith apples, green grapes, mint and dry white wine, it is truly crisp and light.  cool and refreshing for summer, i have a new favorite drink before dinner.
