White Sangria Recipe

This is my favorite sangria recipe to date, and it's ready to drink right out of the gate!  As a huge fan of the traditional red sangria, I was skeptical about trying it's lighter sister version.  I mean why mess with a classic, right?  But in my line of work, any excuse is a good one to try out a new recipe.  And I'm HOOKED! Strawberries, raspberries and other summer fruits shine in this breezy, refreshing cocktail.  A nice, light change for the summer, White Sangria is the perfect party drink.  

Ingredients:

• 1 bottle dry white or sparkling wine
• 1/4 cup orange liqueur
• 1/2 cup rum
• 1/4 cup peach juice (zing!) - substitute orange juice or simple syrup if you can't find peach
• 1 cup slices strawberries
• 1 cup fresh raspberries (I used both red and white)
• 1 orange, sliced thinly
• 1 lemon, sliced thinly
• 1 lime, sliced thinly
• 1 chopped peach or nectarine 

Directions:

• Place chopped fruit in a jar or pitcher. (Or get fancy with this Sangria set - oohlala!)
• Cover fruit liquids.
• Drink!  This is one sangria that doesn't need to sit around. Isn't it pretty?

Enjoy!
