A TOAST TO SUMMER


Had a fabulous dinner with my hubby over the weekend.  We had a Margherita Pizza & a pitcher of White Wine Sangria at one of our local hot spots!  The Sangria was so refreshing and oh so good! I want to try the recipe below at our next dinner party!

Ingredients:
1 bottle Spanish white wine
1/4 cup sugar
1 lime thinly sliced
1 lemon thinly sliced
1 Granny Smith Apple cut into bite size pieces
1 1/2 cup green seedless grapes cut in half
1 cup apple juice
1/2 bunch fresh mint leaves
pinch of salt
1 12 ounce can seltzer water
Ice cubes

Directions:
In a large pitcher combine the wine and sugar & stir until sugar dissolves. Add the remaining ingredients, except the seltzer, and mix well. Put the pitcher in the fridge and chill 1-4 hours. Just before serving add seltzer water and mix well.
