Mai Tai Sangria
No other cocktail says, “Cheers to the Weekend,” quite like a Mai Tai. Throw in a pool, a lounge chair and some snacks and you got yourself the perfect summer scenario. This one just happens to be made in a pitcher—oh, and did I mention it also has joined forces with refreshing sangria so that you get double the fun? It’s the ultimate Saturday cocktail. This Mai Tai Sangria is one of my favorite batch cocktails to make for parties, potlucks, gatherings or BBQs. You really can’t go wrong with it!
