Boy oh boy do I have a little trick for you guys.
We’re going to have some fun, k?
SANGRIA x 3234208.
And not just any sangria. This particular one is FILLED with antioxidants & goodness like HERB, fruit ice cubes.
You should know, I’ve always envisioned myself sipping wine & feeling really good about it because it’s…healthy. Because antioxidants, herbs, & fruit equal healthy in my book. Dreams do come true.
Firstly, do yourself a favor & sass up your sangria with these ideal ice cubes holders.
SEX KITTEN ICE CUBES
1 handful of fresh herbs ( I like mint or basil for this one )
5 organic strawberries, sliced
1 Meyer lemon
1 orange
1 bottle of Eppa Sangria ( I used red! White works well too )
+ directions: grab an ice tray. Squeeze a bunch of lemon & orange in trays. Slice strawberries & cut up mint. Add to trays. Freeze. Leave in the freezer for about 6 to 8 hours. Once frozen add to glass. Pour sangria over herb/fruit infused iced cubes. Garnish with a mint leaf. Cheers!
+ You’ll need an ice cube tray ( get cute and look for ice cream shaped or heart trays ).
I’ve blogged about this sangria before & here’s the thing: the reason I like it is because 1.) it’s twist off ( be honest, you know it’s more convenient than ruining your manicure with a wine cork ), 2.) it’s made with organic superfruit juices PLUS organically grown grapes, & 3.) it contains nearly TWICE ( YES TWICE ) the antioxidants as red wine.
As if we needed ANOTHER reason to get buzzed.
Anyway, I put together a little video of the whole fun process & I can assure you when making this video, sangria was involved.

For the record if you don’t know what sangria is, get on board! It’s “a beverage, common in Spain & Portugal. It normally consists of red wine, chopped fruit, a sweetener, and a small amount of brandy. Chopped fruit can include orange, lemon, lime, apple, peach, melon, berries, pineapple, grape, kiwifruit and mango.”
SO !!! If you’re not feeling the fruits I added, get crazy. Any fruit can be added to the beverage. That’s right, whatever your heart desires. Pile in anything & everything.
Next time I’m FOR SURE trying blended mango ice cubes……..YUMMMM.
Well that’s all I have for you today!
I’m off to watch a movie with Michael ( any recommendations? We’re looking for something scary but actually scary ) & it sounds like sangria is on the menu tomorrow?
Chilled. On the rocks. With a little mint. Can you tell I’m excited?
Cheers! x

Love the top. Could I ask what size you’re wearing? Helps to pick
It’s a small Emma! You will look so hot : ) xx
Sangriaaa! The perfect summer drink! These look delicious and I love how aesthetic the ice cubes are haha.
They look amazing in the white wine. Definitely try it out Beverley! xx
LOVE! Is it too early to be drooling over this?!? lol. Lauryn I cannot get ENOUGH of your site & your podcast! Can’t wait to read your book too. So glad I found you a few days ago from Mike Cernovich. The community you have built is so inspiring. ❤️ xoxo
OMG you are SO sweet Amanda! WELCOME to TSC : ) Let me know if you have any topics you’re interested in hearing about next. xx
Yum! This sounds soooo so good – I was just reading about champagne ice cubes the other day to spice up a drink. This Sangria sounds right up my alley and now that it is about to be summer here in SF (literally our hot months are September & October), the timing is perf!! Plus, don’t forget red wine grapes are full of reservatrol 😉 😉
As far as a movie recc, may I suggest Irreversible? It’s super, super, super, super fucked up and the bad scenes are extremely uncomfortably graphic, but it’s a movie that has stuck with me forever. Scary in a whole different way! Another one that has stuck with me was Saw V, I thought it had the best “moral of the story” out of all the franchise… but I’ll admit, I close my eyes on the, um, scenes. Let us know what you end up choosing!
PS – off to LA this weekend, any must do reccs? xx Shannon
Freeze the red wine grapes for an added touch too Shannon! OH fun movie suggestions thanks. Yes! Email me at asklauryn@theskinnyconfidential.com and I’ll send you my LA recs : ) xx
How fun are these ice cubes!! I love it! I’ve been squeezing lemons into my ice trays so I can easily flavor water but I love the addition of herbs and fruit chunks. Cheers!

These ice cubes would be a GREAT addition to water. Definitely play around with what flavors you like. There are endless combinations! xx
Such a cute idea! I’ve made fruity ice cubes before but never thought about putting it in sangria! Love that.
They really step the sangria up a notch Julie! What are your favorite fruity ice cube combinations? xx
Have you guys got into Stranger Things (Netflix) yet??
YES love it! xx
Hush is super scary on netflix!!!

Love this! Those damn cubes hahahaha Such yummy sangria! Xx
