Taco Bar and Champagne Sangria Recipe | Life On Virginia Street (2024)

So remember in February when we went to Cabo and I convinced my husband I needed some Otomi linens? He said I would never use them. I promised him I would host a summer party just so I could use them and he finally gave up. Well, up until last weekend that party hadn’t occurred yet and I ran out of precious summer weekends to honor my promise.

Last weekend, I put together a really fun taco bar and made a killer champagne sangria recipe to pair with it! It was such a simple meal and drink pairing but it felt so festive and perfect for an end of summer celebration. Because the Otomi I purchased is so colorful, I decided to go bold and colorful with everything and I love how it turned out!

Here are all the fun details.

First up, I prepared the champagne sangria using

Once the drink was prepared and in the fridge getting cold, I put out the decor. I found some cute paper products at the craft storefor $2.99 and thought they would add a fun, festive element to this fairly simple meal. I also used some wood bowls for the toppings and some aqua ceramic bowls for the hot taco mean and shells. I love how the tablescape turned out – and that the colors from the food next to the colors of the drink look so pretty together! I made a simple flower arrangement with some colorful blooms to complete the overall look.

I’m not going to lie. The champagne sangria is one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. My husband really enjoyed it too (although he would have liked it better with a bit less simple syrup, as it was pretty sweet for his normal liking). Doesn’t it look so pretty in the pitcher though? Such a fun drink for parties and it would be easy to make a big batch fairly quickly.

I think I convinced my husband that my Otomi purchase was worth it for this meal alone. The good news is I also enjoyed everything so much, I may be making the taco bar and champagne sangria again in the very near future! Do you have any end of summer blowouts planned this weekend?

I’ll be back Monday with my fall home tour and I also have some big reveals scheduled on Tuesday and Thursday. It’s going to be an exciting week! I hope you all have an amazing Labor Day weekend!
