I tried the most delicious white wine sangria the other day at a local restaurant and it immediately inspired me to recreate it at home. This sangria is so light and fruity and complements my shrimp ceviche and mango avocado salsa topped tilapia so well. This drink will definitely be my drink of choice for entertaining this spring.
Spring Sangria
Makes about 8 servings
Ingredients:
1 bottle (750 ml) pinot grigio
1 can of sparkling orange flavored water

1 small granny smith apple, sliced thin
1 small orange, sliced thin
1 tbsp agave syrup

Ice
Directions:
1. In a glass pitcher, add in agave syrup, 3 orange slices and mint leaves. Mash the mint leaves into the agave and orange slices with a muddler to release the flavor of the mint leaves.
