Sunset Sangria
A really great summery red wine sangria recipe!
Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons lime zest
- 1¾ cups Rose's sweetened lime juice
- 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
- Two 750 ml. bottles chilled Pinot Noir or Syrah
- 2 medium peaches, cut into chunks (peeled or not- doesn't matter)
- 2 medium nectarines, cut into chunks (peeled or not- doesn't matter)
- 1½ cups red grapes
- ice, for serving
Instructions
- Mix the lime zest, lime juice, and sugar in a large pitcher. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the chilled wine and fruit. Refrigerate for at least two hours before serving.
- Serve over ice, scooping fruit into glasses with the sangria.
Notes
- In order to control the amount of sweetness desired, add the sugar a little at a time and keep tasting until it tastes good to you. If things are a little too sweet, go ahead and add a bit of fresh lime juice to tone down the sweetness. You can also stir in a little water.
- If you prefer to use all fresh lime juice for this recipe, you'll need to modify... use 2 cups fresh lime juice and 1 1/2 cups sugar.
- An alternative to adding fruit to the sangria: String the fruit onto skewers instead and stick a skewer in each glass of sangria. Use tall glasses!
