Cheap and Easy Sangria

For any summer party I throw it's a given there'll be sangria. My sister's graduation party I threw recently was no exception.

Below is my tried and true sangria recipe - it pleases even the pickiest of wine drinkers, including my "white-wine only, please!" friends.

Try your best to get a hand on the Livingston Red Rose - it's cheap, but full flavored and perfectly paired with the fruit. Any one who says you have to spend big on wine hasn't tried this recipe!

Ingredients:

Livingston Red Rose Table Wine

1 orange - peeled

1 peach chopped + excess juice

1 lemon cut into wedges + juice of another lemon

Juice of 1 lime

1 20 ounce can of pineapple chunks in juice

1 cup orange juice

Sprite

Directions:

Fill your serving jug 3/4 of the way with the wine.

Add in the orange, peach and entire can of pineapple (that means the juice too!)

Give your mixture a quick stir.

Add in the orange juice. Stir again.

Next, add the lemon lime.

Allow you mixture to rest at room temperature for about an hour. Then, give another stir and place in the fridge to chill until you're ready to serve.

Just before you pour your sangria, add the Sprite - you can do as much or as little as you'd like. I generally fill whatever space of the vessel I'm using has left.

Enjoy!
