Sangria!!

I've made Sangria once before for Katie Mason's 22nd birthday and it never fails to be a big hit. With all the fruit, it's almost like a meal in itself and its just so tastey and delicious! After a day of skiing, Sangria was a perfect drink choice for the night. Ingrid and I stopped at in to pick up the goods to make a delicious drink! We added so much fruit, after four to five glasses of this, I literally was way to full to eat dinner.



You can use pretty much whatever fruits you want for this drinks. We used:
honeydew.
tangerine
orange
apple
pineapple

Cut up your fruits of choice into bite size pieces.
In a pitcher pour in a bottle of red wine (any kind will work)
Add 4 cups of Fresca or some other light soda like lemon-lime
Estimate two shots of gin
Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of sugar
Toss in your fruits

Refrigerate and let the flavors marinade.

Or, if you're like me and can't wait, just stir and drink immediately. Both work fine.
