Sangria is the perfect summer beverage to mix up in a large pitcher when entertaining a crowd. With so many delicious variations possible, simply select your favorite fruits and a crisp wine, mix together, chill and set out for guests to serve themselves.

White Wine Sangria

Ingredients: 2 bottles crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio or Riesling ½ cup sugar or to taste 3 oranges sliced 1 lemon sliced 1 lime sliced ½ pint fresh raspberries fresh mint sprigs for garnish 1 liter sparkling water ice - optional Directions: Pour wine into a pitcher and squeeze the juice from the fruit slices into the wine. Toss fruit slices into the wine, add sugar to taste and stir. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and let the mixture sit for at least 1 hour. The sangria will sweeten with time, so the longer it sits, the better. Add sparkling water just before serving. Tip: If you’d like to serve right away, use chilled wine and simply serve over ice. Alternative fruits: sliced strawberries, peaches, mangos, cantaloupe, pineapple or any favorite sweet fruit. Serves approximately 12
