A fan of red and white Sangria, I usually make huge pitchers of both all summer long when entertaining (and yes, I actually do entertain quite a lot in the warmer months). See below for my simple, yet delish recipes for these two party faves…

White Sangria:

–1 bottle Sauvignon Blanc
–5 tablespoons sugar
–1 cup orange juice
–2 cups soda water
–peaches, nectarines, cherries, oranges, strawberries, lemon, crushed lime

Red Sangria:

–1 bottle Cabernet Sauvignon
–5 tablespoons sugar
–1 cup orange juice
–2 cups soda water
–apples, oranges, strawberries, lemon, cherries

Pour wine into pitcher. Wash, peel and remove seeds from the fruit. Slice into small cubes and put directly into the wine. In a small saucepan, warm the orange juice and stir in the sugar until it dissolves. Stir OJ/sugar mixture into pitcher with the wine and fruit. Chill overnight – we let ours sit for over a day and a half. Add the soda water just before serving. Serve over ice and enjoy! Easy, no?
