Finally! It's time for evenings on the patio and soaking up the last of the sun's rays while chatting with good friends. It's time for summer breezes and barbecues. After a long, hard winter, summer's return is even sweeter. Sangria is one of the easiest, most refreshing, and delicious of summer cocktails. It's so fast to mix up and keep in the fridge. Making the most of the summer citrus bounty, this red wine based drink is a hit with most people. Bring it to your next party!
You will need:
- 1 fresh orange
- 1 fresh lemon
- 2 fresh limes
- 1 750 ml. bottle of red wine (Any variety will work. I used Barefoot Sweet Red)
- 1 can ginger ale
- 1/4 cup super fine sugar
- 2 TBL. Rose's lime juice
Wash and slice the fruit into rounds, rind intact. Place in the bottom of a pitcher, and sprinkle with sugar.
Pour red wine, ginger ale, and lime juice into pitcher, and stir until sugar dissolves. Place in refrigerator to chill and infuse flavors for 1-2 hours before serving. Pour into glasses and garnish with lime wedge.
