Fruity summer sangria

This fruity summer sangria recipe is just what your summer cookout needs. Or maybe a Wednesday. I think #WineWednesday should be a thing. Don’t we all need a little mid-week break? Get the recipe and be sure to grab the best fresh produce.

Sangria recipe

Sangria is technically only made in Spain or Portugal. It also usually includes brandy, which can be kind of expensive. When fresh fruits are in-season though, a few pounds of fruit and a cheap bottle of wine make for a great budget-friendly cocktail.

Actually, I usually choose box wine. It’s inexpensive, easy to open, and lasts a while. It tastes perfectly nice and makes a good base for adding more things. Like this.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup ginger ale
• 1/2 cup apple juice
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 750 milliliters, aka 3 cups red wine {I used Merlot}
• 1 apple, sliced thinly
• 1/2 cup pineapple, diced
• 1/2 cup strawberries, thin sliced
• 1/2 cup grapes, cut in half
• 2 clementine oranges, segmented

Instructions

Combine the ginger ale, juices, and wine in a large pitcher.

Wash and slice all of the fruit. Remove seeds, peel, etc. as appropriate.

Add the fruit to the liquid and refrigerate at least one hour. The longer it sits, the stronger the flavors will blend.

Serve chilled, including pieces of fruit in each glass.

Nice and simple. Just like summer should be.
