Sangria and White Sangria

Sangria - White Sangria

Sangria

From Joshua Wesson of Best Cellars

Serves 3-5

• 1 bottle of juicy red wine, such as Roquerousse Côtes du Rhone 2000 or JP Vinhos Tinto 2000
  
• 1 orange
  
• 1 lime
  
• 1/2 lemon
  
• 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier
  
• 1-2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  
• Ice cubes
  
• 6 ounces ginger ale or grapefruit soda

Pour the wine into a large pitcher. Wash the orange, lime, and lemon. Cut them into thin slices and add to the pitcher. Add the Grand Marnier and the sugar. Marinate for a few hours. (The sangria will taste better if you leave it overnight.)

When ready to serve, fill the pitcher with ice cubes, add the soda, and stir well. Serve with a wooden spoon in the pitcher.
