Subject: Summertime "Party" Sangria
Content: Sangria,
is a super summertime wine "punch" with its traditional heritage well
rooted in Spain. Typically, Sangria is made with red wine, fresh,
seasonal fruit and a bit of bubbly water or citrus flavored soda. It is
easy to make and easy to drink. Prep Time: 0 hours, 5 minutes Ingredients: 1 Bottle of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, Zinfandel, Shiraz) 1 Lemon cut into wedges 1 Orange cut into wedges 1 Lime cut into wedges 2 Tbsp sugar Splash of orange juice 2 Shots of gin 1 Cup of sliced strawberries or raspberries (may use thawed or frozen) 1 Small can of diced pineapples (with juice) 4 Cups ginger ale Preparation:
Pour wine in the pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the lemon,
orange and lime into the wine. Toss in the fruit wedges (leaving out
seeds if possible) and pineapple then add sugar, orange juice and gin.
Chill overnight. Add ginger ale, berries and ice just before serving.
If you'd like to serve right away, use chilled red wine and serve over lots
of ice. However, remember that the best Sangrias are chilled around 24
hours in the frig. - allowing the flavors to really marinate into each
other. *about.com
