On the Rocks: White Sangria.

I love the regular red vino version of sangria, but sometimes life calls for something a little lighter. This Saturday my parents are hosting a summer get together at their place and I’m thinking of making a batch of this white sangria. We’ll be outside under the blazing Oklahoma sun all afternoon and well into the evening, so this should be light and refreshing. Pretty, too.

Ingredients:
– 1 lemon, 1 lime, 1 orange and 4 strawberries
– 1-2 tbsp triple sec
– 1 bottle of white wine
– 8 oz. 7-up, diet or regular (see note)

Cut the ends off the lemon, lime and orange. Squeeze the juice from the ends into a pitcher. Slice the fruit thinly. Add to pitcher with triple sec. Pour over wine. Just before serving add the 7-up.

Note: If you prefer not to use 7-up, add seltzer instead, but then you need to add a bit of sugar to the fruit, about 3 -4 teaspoons.
