Who says Sangria is for Summer?

This past weekend we were delighted to be a part of the annual Wedding Show up at the Wadsworth Mansion in Middletown. As part of our offerings we served a Winter White Sangria, and boy was it a hit! Sangria is, in many ways, the alcoholic equivalent to cooking from the pantry. You never have to follow a recipe, and often times the best concoctions are made up on a whim. Our recipe is below, but remember - improvising is encouraged!

Winter White Sangria

1 bottle chardonnay

1 bottle sauvignon blanc

1 bottle chablis (yes, they still make this!)

1/2 cup of simple syrup

1 cup brandy

2 cups apple juice

1/2 cup orange juice

juice of one lime

2 tbsp honey

Sliced Pears, Apples, and Grapes

Now, prepare yourself for the super complicated method:

1. Combine all of the above in a large jug.

2. Let sit overnight (preferably). Before serving, give it a try and make sure it doesn't need a bit more of this or that.

3. Consume with friends. Don't forget, the fruit is the best part!
