I love to entertain, and I use this Serena and Lily tray almost every time I have people over. It’s so perfect for cocktails, appetizers and even desserts. I also love using it for breakfast in bed!

We had a 4th of July party and I served the cocktails on this tray, complete with star-shaped watermelon/blueberry skewers and watermelon margaritas. It was so fun and festive!

When I’m not using the tray for entertaining, I love putting it on our dresser and decorating it with pretty books and candles. It’s truly one of my favorite pieces!

Serena and Lily has so many beautiful trays-I want to start a collection! It’s my favorite place to shop for furniture and home decor. Our kitchen counter stools are from there, and we couldn’t love them more! We also have the prettiest mirror in Robert’s nursery from Serena and Lily. Can you tell I really love shopping there?

Now let’s talk about this sangria! It’s basically fruit infused wine, and you can add whatever fruit you love or have on hand. You can get creative and use other things like peaches, pears, blueberries, blackberries, etc.

I love making red wine sangria in the fall and winter, but rosé sangria just screams summer! This recipe is perfect for a crowd as it serves 6-8.

How to:

  1. Slice the fruit. I used strawberries, raspberries, oranges and lemons.

  2. Stir everything together in a pitcher. Combine rosé, grapefruit juice, cointreau, fruit and mint in a pitcher.

  3. Cover and refrigerate. Refrigerate for 1-4 hours. The longer it sits in the fridge, the stronger the flavor. I woudln’t leave it longer than 4 hours or the fruit will become soggy.

  4. Serve. Pour over ice and garnish with fresh mint and fruit. Add sparkling water if you want a little fizz. Enjoy!

I hope you make this sangria and love it as much as I do!
