White Wine Sangria

Yup, I’m doing it-

In “Spirit” (no pun intended) of Memorial Day, I’m posting a fun, delicious drink, full of fruit.  Definitely not calling it a Supportive beverage in any way, but it bears sharing

Sangria is typically red wine and fruit and other stuff that varies from recipe to recipe.  As you know, I can’t ever do anything food-wise by the book, so I used white wine.  When I drink, it’s usually Pinot Grigio.  My favorite “everyday” wine, Barefoot Pinot Grigio, is what I had on-hand.  I dumped one bottle (the 750mL, or the smaller bottle) of the pinot grigio, and then a bunch of fruit.  I used halved frozen cherries I’d frozen after cutting them the other day, sliced oranges, lemons, limes, mangoes, peaches, pineapple, and blueberies.   Once they were all floating, I poured one 2 liter bottle of citrus (orange, lime, lemon) soda (not orange soda, or lemon, or lime- a combo of each, I believe it’s called “Citrus Cooler” soda or something- it’s a storebrand) in.  It’s a beautiful light orange color. The longer it sits, the better, but don’t add the soda till just before serving.
