Red, White, & Blue Sangria
Ingredients
- 1 bottle white wine (Note that you will be incorporating several fruits, so you should rely on a dryer, subtler wine like a Pinot Grigio)
- 1 ½ cups sparkling lemonade
- ½ cup vodka Go with a classic like Grey Goose to please the crowd, or venture for the spicy Hangar One Straight Vodka distilled from Viognier grapes and Midwestern grains.

- Refrigerate for up to four hours before serving, and prepare for your all-American beverage to be a smash hit.
Serving Suggestions: When you’re ready to unveil your Red, White, & Blue Sangria serve it chilled and drink immediately.
