Style on a Budget White Sangria

I figured since I mentioned using the leftover wine from the salmon in the sangria - I had better tell you how to make the sangria as well!

I personally love sangria, especially in the summer!  The mix of wine with sweet summer fruits is just a great combination and so refreshing.  Typically I gravitate to red sangria but when i saw this recipe I knew it would be yummy and had to try it!  Bonus - less chance of Amy ruining her clothes when she inevitably spills the sangria.  :) The recipe calls for A LOT of fruit.  And I'm pretty sure I cut the amount of fruit in half and it was fine. Also I omitted the white grapes because I couldn't find any that day.  Basically you can use whatever fruit you like but this recipe is based primarily on citrus.  The best part?  It doesn't really matter if you buy $2 wine or $20 wine - so grab whatever's on sale!!

via 100 Recipes Every Woman Should Know

Serves 4 (or two very thirsty ladies - guilty!)

One 750-ml bottle dry white wine (such as sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio)
1/2 to 1 cup brandy, to taste (I used 1/2 cup)
1/4/ cup sugar
2 limes, sliced into thin rounds
2 lemons, sliced into thin rounds
1 orange, sliced into thin rounds
1 green apple, sliced
1 small bunch white grapes, removed from the stems, sliced in half
1 cup seltzer
Ice cubes

1.  In a large glass pitcher combine the wine, brandy, and sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.

2.  Add the fruit and seltzer to the pitcher.  Let the sangria marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours before serving.  Add ice to the pitcher, stir, and serve.

Cheers!!
