SPANISH FIZZ

Summer hangs and pitchers of Sangria may be the very best way to enjoy a sunny afternoon, but we mustn’t let perfect be the enemy of pretty darned great. If just two people (not a pitcher-worthy group) feel like a glass of Spain’s fruity wine punch, it’s easy to make a couple of servings of spritzy white Sangria, thanks to canned sparkling wine.

SANGRIA FOR TWO (Makes 2 drinks)

Since it calls for sparkling white wine instead of red, this light and fruity Sangria is even more tangy and refreshing than the more traditional version.

Ingredients

1 can (240 ml) sparkling white wine, such as Joiy Sparkling (LCBO 486456, 250 ml, $5.25)

1 1/2 oz raspberry liqueur, such as Chambord Royale (LCBO 111443, $47.45)

1 oz fresh lemon juice

10 fresh berries or slices of other seasonal fruit

2 sprigs mint (optional)

Directions

STEP 1: Fill two small wineglasses with ice.

STEP 2: Pour about 4 oz sparkling wine into each glass and then add 3/4 oz of Chambord to each.

STEP 3: Add 1/2 oz lemon juice and stir gently.

STEP 4: Add berries, dividing them equally between glasses.

STEP 5: Garnish each glass with a sprig of mint, if desired.

ENJOY!
