Ever since I ordered my awesome pitcher, I've been thinking of making sangria in it. Last night was the night I finally fulfilled my fruity desires. Since the weather has been so sultry, I decided to try making white sangria for the first time. I had a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc that I thought would be a good fit.
For those of you who don't know me personally, I'll fill you in. I have a REAL problem actually following a recipe to a T! I always tinker with it even if it's a minor tweak. I just can't help myself!
So, with that being said, my white sangria ended up not really being white. Hell, it was more of a boozy fruit cocktail when I got done with it!
Here's MY version of it - feel free to tweak it all you want too!

Here's MY version of it - feel free to tweak it all you want too!
- One bottle white wine - reisling, sauvingnon blanc, or other fruity white will work - nothing too dry or too sweet
- 3 fresh peaches, pureed
- 2 fresh peaches, cubed
- 1/2 fresh mango, cubed
- a handful of cherries, pitted and cut in half
- a few slices of lemon and lime cut into tiny triangles - follow the membrane as your guide
- a handful of strawberries, diced
- 2 shots of peach schnapps
- club soda, ginger ale or selzer - added just before serving
- ice cubes
This wine ended up being a little too tart so I threw in a splash of moscato that I had leftover in the fridge and used the ginger ale to add a touch of sweetness.
Serve in wine glasses over ice. Be sure to hand out spoons to scoop up all the luscious "fruit cocktail!" Enjoy!
I found out about a very tasty sounding event from a Tweet from fellow blogger Cleveland Food and Brews. It was described as a taste-off...
