Notes From: Paella Party

Nothing says summer like a patio hangout with compatriots over a refreshing sangria and a seafood paella. Houdini agrees. How was your weekend?

Swell Sip: Starry Sangria

Yes, I know. Sangria isn't exactly All-American. But it is a perfect potion meant to be shared (as in, note the recipe calls for a bottle, so pull out your punch bowl, won't you?). With a splash of bubbly—club soda or champagne—and loads of fresh fruit, this is worth making to celebrate the red, white and blue and to imbibe well into the last days of the season. In short, it is a delightful summer SWELL SIP! Pair it with your polka dot bikini this weekend and you will be nothing short of festive. Hurray!
