The Beauty of the Ingredients

i found this great sangria recipe.  the combo of the cloves, honey, ginger, and persimmon is absolutely mouth-watering.

this is the perfect for my Valentine's Day cocktail party — it could easily be made in advance so that I can spend my time enjoying the festivities.
