I have two on my site. One is made with red wine and the other with white. I developed the recipes for people who wanted a choice.

Ivory Sangria


Ingredients


2 limes, sliced


2 lemons, sliced


2 large Granny Smith Apples, peeled and sliced


2 750ml bottles of Chablis


1 1/2 cups simple syrup


1 cup brandy


2 bottles club soda





Method


Combine the fruit, Chablis, simple syrup and brandy. Chill at least 2 hours. Gently stir in the club soda. Serve over ice with additional sliced fruit in each glass.





Simple Syrup





Simple Syrup is a great ingredient to have on hand. I'm particularly fond of using it in cold drinks that need a bit of sweet. The ';liquid sugar'; eliminates the frustration of getting regular granulated sugar to melt in cold liquids. Simple Syrup is also great for sorbets and granitas or glazing cakes.





Ingredients


2 cups sugar


2 cups water





Method


Combine sugar and water in a saucepan over moderate heat. Bring just to the boil, ensure the sugar is completely dissolved and remove from heat; set aside to cool.





Simple Syrup keeps indefinitely, cover and refrigerate.
Ingredients:





* 1 Bottle of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, Zinfandel, Shiraz)


* 1 Lemon cut into wedges


* 1 Orange cut into wedges


* 1 Lime cut into wedges


* 2 Tbsp sugar


* Splash of orange juice or lemonade


* 2 Shots of gin or triple sec (optional)


* 1 Cup of raspberries or strawberries (may use thawed or frozen)


* 1 Small can of diced pineapples (with juice)


* 4 Cups ginger ale





Preparation:


Pour wine into a large pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the lemon, orange and lime into the wine. Toss in the fruit wedges (leaving out seeds if possible) and pineapple then add sugar, orange juice and gin. Chill overnight. Add ginger ale, berries and ice just before serving. If you'd like to serve right away, use chilled red wine and serve over lots of ice. However, remember that the best Sangrias are chilled around 24 hours in the frig. - allowing the flavors to really marinate into each other.





its very good i've tried it. its def a summer drink
Unfortunately, I鈥檝e never measured any of these ingredients, so you鈥檒l have to keep tasting it until it鈥檚 fruity and strong enough for you. I know purists say to use only the fruit itself, and I started out making it that way, but it took WAY too much work to get it fruity enough.





What I use now is cheap bottled lemon and lime juices and orange juice concentrate right out of the can. (This gives a MUCH fruitier flavor than premade orange juice and doesn't dilute it as much.)





To a bottle of your favorite red wine add a little bit of sugar (superfine dissolves much faster than regular), a few glugs of brandy, rum (I sometimes even add a tiny bit of grain alcohol, but that鈥檚 not for everybody.), lemon and lime juices and some of the orange juice concentrate. Taste it for alcohol balance and add more juice if it鈥檚 too strong for you or if it鈥檚 not fruity enough. After the sugar dissolves taste it for sweetness. Since the concentrate is so sweet in itself, you might not want to add any sugar until you鈥檝e tasted it. Add more booze, if necessary. Even without the grain alcohol, this is a very strong drink (the way I make it, anyway) and truly does taste like wine punch. Everybody loves it. It even got me on Bret Michaels鈥?bus a few years ago.





One more point: This sangria (as does any properly made sangria) will be really cloudy, so don鈥檛 let that put you off. Just shake it before every pour (unless you鈥檙e pouring several at a time, of course.) (DO NOT use regular ice cubes in this--it tasts horrible with water in it. This idea just now came to me: You could mix up the remaining concentrate with some water and make ice cubes out of that. I'll have to try that one myself.





Let chill overnight, if possible (all day, at least).
