We’re swiftly preparing our Christmas holiday plans and while some include interstate visits home or exotic overseas travels, there’s really nothing better than relaxing in your home. So this season, the Queensland Homes team is embracing happy hour at home. Summer calls for long lazy days by the pool paired with a tall fresh glass of sangria. It’s a summer classic for a reason. In his book Mix It Up, Master mixologist Grant Collins shares his secret to a fabulous sangria mix.
