*Photo not mine. We drink here, but we rarely garnish like thisNine times out of ten I'll choose liquor over wine. Except when there's sangria. Rachel served a white one before dinner last time they had us over and it was delicious.
A group of realtors with midtown and downtown listings got together and are having a little homes tour tomorrow night, and we're on it. They were talking about wine and cheese so I offered to make that same white sangria for our realtor to serve. I mixed up a gallon of it tonight, and of course we had to taste it. If there are leftovers tomorrow night I'm not going to mind a bit. Here's the recipe, make multiples for a crowd:
1 bottle white wine (chardonay if you like sweeter, I prefer not so sweet so I used a sauvignon blanc-also, a nine buck bottle is fine here, no need to gold plate it)
1 1/2 cups Triple Sec
3/4 cup Orange Juice
Your choice of chopped fruit
Splash of Fresca
Yes, Fresca. I can hear the purists screaming. So it's not a traditional sangria, it's still tasty and refreshing. I threw in some orange and lime slices, pineapple and melon chunks and a big handful of red grapes.
So hopefully someone will wander in here and pour themselves a glass and think "wow this is good, and this apartment is wonderful - let's make an offer!"

You're gonna make me my own pitcher when I visit, right?
Sounds delish, Hope that your home sells soon. My sister has a building in the West Bottoms on the market if you hear of anyone for a multi use 13,500 sq ft, 3 floor space.
One for all of us Raina, with big straws!
In Mexico and Spain, Sangria is usually made with some sort of soda...Sprite, Ginger Ale, the horribly named Squirt. I think Fresca is a fantastic idea! I don't like very sweet Sangria...your recipe is great. We go thru a lot of Fresca at my house. My husband drinks Vodka and Fresca.
Thanks Jill, if that's how the natives make it then I'm sticking with it.
I'm also hoping there's a lot of waterlogged fruit at the bottom of the pitcher...my favorite part.
