RAINBOW SANGRIA

iklan tengah

Ever since my friends and I met for a tapas happy hour at our neighborhood Spanish restaurant a few weeks ago, I’ve had sangria on my mind.  Mmmmsangria.  Everything about that drink makes me happy — the fresh fruit, the sweetness paired with dry wine, and of course the colors.  If you’ve read this blog before, you know that I have a thing for color.  

;)

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 refrigerated bottle dry white wine
• 3 Tbsp. granulated sugar or honey
• 2 Tbsp. lime juice
• 8 cups diced rainbow fruit (*see note below*)
• 2 oz. brandy (optional)
• 1/2 cup club soda or ginger ale (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a pitcher (or in the wine bottle), combine wine, sugar/honey, lime juice, and stir until combined.
2. Add fruit to your serving glasses or (separate) pitcher in your desired color order. Then pour the wine over the fruit until the fruit is covered. Refrigerate the drinks for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Or serve immediately if you’re feeling impatient. ;)
3. Top with a splash of brandy and club soda if desired.
4. *To make a rainbow of fruit, you will need bite-sized fruit in the following colors. I used the first fruit listed in each color, specifically because I wanted them to be edible right out of the glass with a spoon. (Instead of a lime wedge, etc.)
