The Frugal Husband frequently forces The Frugal Hostess to drink really, really cheap white wine. He also forces her to drink really cheap red wine, but the white wine is what gives her heartburn. It tastes good, but the acidity? grapes? wineyness of it? gets old after the first glass. So, here is a way to transform cheapo white wine into a delicious beverage: White Sangria.
Ingredients
Pitcher
One bottle of white wine, any varietal or blend
3 tablespoons of sugar
1 cup of orange or cranberry juice (optional)1 each lemon and lime (or two of either)
One peach
Eight strawberries
Or whatever fruit you have
Gingerale
Club soda
Directions
1. Pour the bottle of wine, sugar, and juice into a pitcher.
2. Cut the lemon and lime into eighths. Squeeze the citrus, and drop them in.
3. Cut the peach and strawberries (or whatever fruit you plan to add) into bite-sized pieces. As you drink the sangria, you'll also want to eat the fruit. Drop those into the pitcher.
4. Fill the rest of the pitcher with half ginger ale and half club soda.
5. Stir well and let sit in the refrigerator for two hours or so. Serve over ice in big goblets.
6. Be moderate! This is one of those beverages that can kick you in the head without you realizing it.
