White Sangria


This provided a delicious way to relax before dinner at the beach -- chips and guac and some light fruity sangria  --   aaah!  Thanks, Gail.

White Sangria

1 bottle fruity white wine (like Vouvrey)
1/2 c triple sec
1/4 c sugar (or less)
juice of two oranges
sliced orange, lemon, lime

Stir and let mixture sit 3-4 hours in a clear glass pitcher, then add a can of club soda.
Easy, pretty, smooth and delicious. Enjoy!

Serving Size: I doubled the recipe for 8 people and there was some leftover.
