Someone in college introduced me to sangria. Maybe it was on a weekend trip to Spain? I can't remember for sure, but I've really enjoyed it ever since. Only problem is that it's one of those drinks you seem to have to make in a pitcher for a party, and not as a single serve drink. So what did I do to try this recipe? Invite some friends over to help me drink it!
It was SUPER sweet. Almost like a syrup. I'd say you could leave out the sugar in the recipe. We added champagne to our glasses and also tried some vodka to cut the sweet. We liked the champagne option the best.
I'll leave the recipe below as is, but just be warned.
- 750 mL bottle dry white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc
- 1/2 cup strawberry schnapps
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- ice cubes
- whole strawberries (optional)
In a 2-quart pitcher stir together wine, strawberry schnapps, and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Add sliced strawberries. Cover and chill for 1-4 hours. Serve in glasses over ice. If desired, garnish with whole strawberries.
