Since the release of our newest Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard prints last month, we haven’t been able to stop thinking about some of our favorite parts of our visit to New England. Okay, if we’re being honest, we actually have one particular thing in mind—Cisco Brewery’s mouthwatering frozen sangria. Cisco Brewery is a mainstay on our favorite little island of Nantucket, and a stop that we truly can’t pass up when we make our way out East. But, since we can’t hop over to Nantucket quite as often as we’d like to, we decided to whip up our own frozen sangria recipe at home, inspired by our favorite drink!
We’re soaking up every last bit of summer before the fall season officially arrives, so we put our own twist on this refreshing sip, and hope you enjoy a day in the sun, sipping on this fruity frozen drink just as much as we did. With that said, keep scrolling to see our Nantucket inspired frosé sangria recipe, two different ways…
Tip : We think these sips are best served with one of our favorite Nantucket prints in sight for an experience that will truly transport you to this dreamy destination. ;)

Easy as that! Are you going to whip up these frosé sangria recipes at home?
We have to say, it’s definitely not a bad way to cool off in this lingering heat… If you try them at home, don’t forget to let us know how you like them by tagging us on social media @GrayMalin.
