White Sangria

This sangria is great, but actually much stronger than it tastes!


Into a pitcher with some ice pour:
1 bottle (750 ml) light, dry white wine (like pinot grigio)
--tip: as you pour the wine over the ice, shake the pitcher. If you pour the wine in without doing this, the ice will all fuse together

add:
4 oz Triple sec (4 shots)
2 oz brandy (get a brandy that is light in color--the darker ones tend to be sweeter)

add diced fruit like peaches, nectarines, cherries, berries, etc

If the sangria tastes too strong, add a few oz of lemonade (or white cranberry juice)

stir all together with a long handled wooden or plastic spoon (just not a metal spoon--i think i heard somewhere that using a metal spoon changes the taste)

serve over ice and top with seltzer if desired
