SANGRIA
Whether it's a dietary restriction for specific health reasons or just
trying to limit your sugar intake in general, this is a Sangria recipe
just for you, based on agave nectar. It's the perfect Sangria to take to
a pre-football party.
Ingredients:
1 Bottle of red wine
(Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja reds, Zinfandel, Shiraz)
1 Lemon cut into wedges
1 Lime cut into wedges
1 Orange cut into wedges
3/4 cup Granny Smith Apples
3/4 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
2/3 cups Agave nectar
2 cups sparkling water or club soda
Pour wine in the pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the
lemon, orange and lime into the wine. Toss in the fruit wedges (leaving out seeds if possible) then add agave nectar. Chill overnight. Add
sparkling water or club soda, raspberries and apples, and ice just
before serving. If you'd like to serve right away, use chilled red wine
and serve over lots of ice. However, remember that the best Sangrias
are chilled around 24 hours-allowing the flavors to really marinate.
