Since it’s summer and things are a bit slower, I restarted one of my original series: Make This Weekend.  I love a fresh Summer Sangria.  It is the perfect mix of sweet and tart.  We’ve had some great Sangria in Spain.  I’m sure I’ll have a new Sangria to share when I get home!

The Make This Weekend recipes are a mix of recipes that are perfect for the weekend because they take a bit more time or are just great for when you have a chance to slow down and enjoy them.

You got a sneak peek of this sangria in the post of this elegant summer tablescape featuring the blue, white and green Ikat design.  This recipe can easily be made into a mocktail by increasing the orange juice and sparkling water and deleting the wine.

Summer Sangria
 
Ingredients
  • 1 c sugar
  • 1 c fresh orange juice, chilled
  • ½ c fresh lemon juice, chilled
  • ½ c fresh lime juice, chilled
  • 1 bottle Savignon Blanc, chilled
  • 2 bottles of Topo Chico or 32 oz of Sparking Water
  • 1 green apple, cored and chopped
  • 1 lime thinly sliced
  • **Note: Use fresh squeezed juices. It really tastes much better. Never that pre-made Real Lemon! I buy it at Central Market or Whole Foods when I'm making a large quantity but it's really not that hard to squeeze this amount for a single batch.
Instructions
  1. Place sugar, orange juice, lemon juice and grapefruit juice in a large pitcher.
  2. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
  3. Add remaining ingredients and stir.
  4. Pour over ice in a high boy or large wine glass.
  5. Enjoy!
