I’ve lived in Sacramento, California my entire life (for the most part). Heat waves are nothing new. But I can never manage to acclimate. In fact I’m sweating more than a whore in church as I type this. Not pretty & I’m not happy about it. So in an attempt to curb my bitterness I’m whipping up something sweet. I hope you enjoy my favorite sangria recipe. Please feel free to pass it along & also share your own recipe in the comment posts. Cheers!
6 bottles sweet red (Barefoot Sweet Red is perfect – you don’ t need to add sugar if you use sweet wine)
4 bottles blood red orange Italian soda (Trader Joe’s)
4 shots triple sec
2 cups raspberries
2 cups blackberries
2 cups fresh pineapple (canned in juice okay)
3 each oranges, lemons & limes, wedged not sliced
Mix all liquid ingredients together. Add berries & pineapple. Squeeze citrus wedges into mixture then toss in the peels. Chill overnight. Serve over ice. <clink!>
I assume this lasts you at least two or three nights, but what about if you’re having company??
But truly, how long will this stay drinkable in the fridge, if I’m not having a big ol’ shindig? Thanks!
