Aerin Lauder’s Summer Sangria

This awesome recipe was in my inbox today from Aerin Lauder’s mailing list…it is her favorite Sangria recipe. I have been asking friends over for a social distance outdoor dinner during the past few summer Friday nights. It is a nice way to catch up on the many weeks missed, spend some quality time together al fresco, and try dishes and drinks that have been on our list. I just love the idea of this easy refreshing Sangria and I think I am going to make it this weekend. Bottom’s Up!!

Aerin’s Sangria

Add 2 types of fresh fruit to a bottle of light, fruity white wine

Whatever fresh fruit you have on hand will do…sliced strawberries, cut melon, orange slices, blackberries, raspberries

A splash of Cognac and throw in a clove or 2

Add a teaspoon or 2 of sugar (depending on how sweet you prefer)

Refrigerate for at least an hour and serve over ice in really pretty GLASS.
