We decided that January was going to be (obviously) phenomenal. February was epic. March was outrageous. April was sassy. May was solid gold.
Then this little gem entered our lives.
We kicked off Memorial Day weekend with a picnic. I made sangria – a summery, fruity white wine sangria.
June is #ThisIsCrazy. And I have a feeling that the whole summer is going to be too.
Strawberry-Peach White Wine Sangria
(Adapted from Strawberry Mojito Sangria in Women’s Health Magazine, June 2012)
½ cup lime juice
½ cup simple syrup
7 cups sauvignon blanc
1 cup ripe peaches, sliced
10 strawberries, sliced
In a pitcher, combine the lime juice and simple syrup and stir well. Add the wine, peaches, and strawberries. Refrigerate for at least three hours. Stir well before serving.
I use the simple syrup recipe that is part of the official Kentucky Derby Mint Julep recipe. I make a batch (without the mint) and store it in glass Mason jars in the fridge.
This is one sangria I can't wait to try!
