Memorial Day Weekend Sangria Twist!

Someone at the family barbecue yesterday made a pitcher of Summer Peach Sangria, which was a big hit with the adults. Here is the recipe:

1 bottle of white wine

½ Bottle of Cointreau or Peach Schnapps

¼ Cup of sugar

½ Liter of ginger ale

2 mixed cups of peaches (fresh or frozen), mango, and orange chuncks

Mix wine, liqueur, and sugar together until sugar dissolves. Chill for 1 hour. Add ginger ale and fruit just before serving over ice.

Please drink responsibly and/or make a tamer Virgin Summer Sangria by substituting the white wine with a pineapple juice and sparkling water mix; the liqueur with orange juice concentrate.
