Shit, I'm gonna have to rethink about drinking this now that I've seen the calorie content. The good news is, you usually drink sangria with a bunch of people .. in my case I had only one friend over and we devoured it in about 2 hours, and wanted more .. lol

A really good summer drink though, you can use any dry red table wine with fruity flavors.

I chose Longue Dog, because I was reading reviews on the best wines for cranberry sangrias and many people like this wine, plus it has an adorable label =) .. check out the expression on his face lol

I'm gonna add a can of peaches next time too. I only had frozen strawberries, they make for good ice cubes ^^ and remind me of those Del Monte fruit popscicles .. but if it's fresh strawberries you're using, make sure to slice them up!

So pretty much just wash all the fruit and slice it into flat rings and then halve it again.

No need to cut the grapes. We like to do shots with a piece of fruit in the shot glass as a chaser. The pineapple cut it into bite size pieces.

Mix it well in a big bowl or pitcher, poke at the fruits so the juices mix with the wine, leave it over night in the fridge for even more flavor. Serve it with or without ice.

Perfect for drinking under the sun and appreciating the good weather !

It should be just under 30$ in total.

Happy drinking !
