RAINBOW SANGRIA

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.  ;)

So of course, when I found myself in the fruit section at the market this week trying to decide what kind of sangria to make for our weekly neighbor night, I immediately thought of sangria.  But then I was immediately paralyzed by indecision, based 100% on color palates.  Should I make a red sangria with lots of strawberries and pomegranates?  Or a yellow sangria with pineapple and lemons and apples?  Or a cool-toned sangria, with kiwi and blueberries and blackberries and such?  Or…

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:

In a pitcher (or in the wine bottle), combine wine, sugar/honey, lime juice, and stir until combined.

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. ;)
