I’ve been thinking of ways to beat the summer heat and the first thing that comes to mind is a refreshing drink. Eureka! Sangria! Ok so it’s not that inventive of an idea. But it turned out to be the perfect bbq companion on a nice summer afternoon. I don’t think this is close to the traditional Spanish sangria but it’s the same concept. There wasn’t any red wine in the house so I decided to make white sangria which turned out to be a really great experiment.

Here’s how I made it:

Edna Valley Chardonnay (from Napa)
1 red delicious apple sliced
1 gala apple sliced
2 navel oranges sliced
1 lemon sliced
Sparkling Flavored Water (signature brand stop & shop) berry
Sugar

Mix all the fruit with the chardonnay. Mix in the flavored water and sugar to taste. The Edna Valley Chardonnay is slightly on the sweeter side and no oak-iness to it so it made the drink very refreshing.

    I’ve seen white Sangrias, and I’m sure I’ve got a recipe or two somewhere in the giant cookbook stack, but I’ve never actually tried it. Yours looks great, and this is coming from somoeone who views white wine as cooking wine only!
