Now that we're in the thick of summer, a cool, refreshing, standy-by drink is something everyone needs in their life. And mine is this glorious White Sangria.
Usually I favor towards reds, but something about the summer heat, grilling in the backyard (or in our case, the area behind our garage... boo), the evening light, and some playful company makes white seem so much more appropriate. All it takes is a bottle of your favorite chardonnay, some oranges and lemons, sugar (of course), and a splash of Grand Marnier (or other citrus liqueur). Pair it with some grilled fish dusted with cumin, a bright salad filled with summer's bountiful vegetables, and you've got a summer feast fit for your best next-door-neighbors.
Borrowed from The Brown-Eyed Baker.
