Summer Fruit Sangria

by | |

Wine and fruit — what’s not to love?

Red, white, pink, or sparkling, any bottle of wine can be made into a fruity, fun drink that’ll refresh you on the hottest of days. Sweetened with juice, spiked with booze, and decorated with fruit, this drink is just one more reason to be thankful for the long evenings of summer ahead.

A pitcher of sangria made with white wine, fruit, and liqueur will get the party started. Here's a summer fruit sangria recipe that you can easily do at home. Enjoy!

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 cups assorted fruits (such as mango, pineapple, cantaloupe, and apricot), sliced or cut into chunks

  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced peeled fresh ginger

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups fresh basil or mint leaves

  • 1/2 cup orange liqueur, such as Cointreau

  • 1 bottle crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

  • Ice


DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large bowl or pitcher, combine fruit, ginger, basil or mint, and orange liqueur. Mash gently with the back of a wooden spoon until basil is bruised and fruit releases juices. Add wine and lemon juice and stir to combine. Refrigerate 1 hour (or up to 1 day). To serve, fill eight glasses with ice and top with sangria.
