RECIPE: REC: White Zinfandel Sangria. I know "blush" wines are passé, and this is not a true Sangria,

but boy, it hit the spot this weekend. I catered a baby shower (I always wondered what went on at those things; well, guys, after the conversation switched from water-breaking to caesarians I stopped listening,) and with creamed chicken crepes and a cheesy spinach quiche, a red wine Sangria would have been too heavy. This was light and refreshing, a pretty rose color, and it gave me a chance to use up a bottle of peach brandy that's been in my cupboard since the nineties.

(I found this recipe at epi last week but now, with the new pea design, I can't find it to save my life.)

WHITE ZINFANDEL SANGRIA

Use any fruit that is available. Mangoes, pineapples, apples, and stawberries and some to consider, although at least one citrus fruit is essential.

1 750 ml. bottle of chilled White Zinfandel

1/2 cup peach schnapps (I used peach brandy)

2 Tbs. Cointreau or other orange liqueur (I used Grand Marnier)

2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half (didn't have any, but would have been nice)

2 Tbs. sugar

1 lemon, sliced

1 orange, sliced

1 peach, sliced (I used a couple of limes)

1 10-oz. bottle of chilled club soda

Ice cubes

Mix first 8 ingredients in tall pitcher. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Mix in club soda. Put ice in glasses and pour sangria over.

You're a genius, Curious. It showed up in a general search last week, before the redesign.

 
Rec: Red Sangria

This is a recipe out of an old fondue book. We've made it countless times, I drank far more than my share before I discovered gin and tequila. smileys/wink.gif

Sangria

3/4 cup orange juice
juice of 1 lime
juice of one lemon
1/2 cup of sugar (or up to 1/4 cup more to taste)
2 tablespoons brandy or 1/4 cup triple sec

Inexpensive hearty red wine of your choice, such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz or any red Spanish wine. The old recipe calls for burgundy, lol, it's a really old recipe.

Put first 5 ingredients in a 1 liter carafe, stir to disolve sugar, then fill the carafe with your choice of red wine and stir again. I like this cut with a bit of seltzer in the glass. You can float wedges of unpeeled apples and oranges if you wish.

 
I haven't ventured there since I get lots of gobbledygook on the page. Maybe I'll take another look
