Just now I was searching the 'net for a white sangria recipe. The first one I looked at cracked me up. There's the recipe, then there's the first commenter who gave the recipe five stars out of five, though she said she had to tweak it a "little". Compare the recipes. Other than the fact they both had fruit....
•1 Bottle of white wine (Riesling, Albarino, Chablis, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc)
•2/3 cup white sugar
•3 oranges (sliced) or may substitute 1 cup of orange juice)
•1 lemon (sliced)
•1 lime (sliced)
•2 oz. brandy (optional)
•1/2 liter of ginger ale or club soda (ginger ale for those with a sweeter tooth!)
Preparation:
Pour wine in the pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the orange,lemon and lime into the wine, add brandy if desired. Toss in the fruit wedges (leaving out seeds if possible) and add sugar. Chill overnight. Add ginger ale or club soda just before serving.
If you'd like to serve right away, use chilled white wine and serve over lots of ice.
Addition ideas: sliced strawberries, peaches, handful of fresh blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, a shot or two of gin, brandy or rum, a cup of citrus-flavored soda pop.
