Delicious Sangria

Sangria is a refreshing drink to enjoy on warm summer nights. Here is a new “sparkling” twist on an old favorite.

• 1 bottle of Moscato (sparkling)
• 1/2 cup of white grape juice
• 1 can of lemon lime or club soda
• 1  carton of raspberries
• 1  carton of strawberries
• 1 medium pear
• 1 lime
• 2 apples,  (Granny Smith,  Galla, Fuji or your favorite)
• 1/4 cup of sugar

Dice apples and strawberries. Chop  lime into thick chunks. Layer fruits in a  tall pitcher and top with pepper.  Sprinkle in sugar and add wine, club soda and grape fruit juice.   Stir and chill!

With a few substitutes, you can try an entirely different flavor sensation!

• 1 can of lemon lime or club soda
• 1 cucumber
• 2 medium pears
• 1 lime
• 2 apples,  (Granny Smith,  Galla, Fuji or your favorite)
