Prime Cuts

Being my first week and with the summer and warm weather right around the corner, I thought I would begin my initiation to Prime Cuts with a drink that I learned to make while working at Caminito with Joe and Justin. This Perfect Summer Sangria is easy to make and especially perfect to enjoy in these upcoming months.

Ashley’s Summer Sangria Recipe

Ingredients

1 Bottle chilled red wine (Choose a wine that isn’t too sweet because sugar is going to be added later. Blends such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are great to use because they don’t overpower the other ingredients.)
1/4-1/2 cup confectioners sugar (use to your desired sweetness)
1/4 cup Orangina
1/4 cup Sparkling water

Mix all ingredients to dissolve sugar then add:
1 cup fresh fruit, diced (some great fruits that I use are apples, strawberries, grapes, cantaloupe, pineapple and kiwi)
1/2 of an orange, cut into small chunks

Preparation

Stir all the ingredients and let sit for a hour so the fruit can absorb the wine! Serve in red wine glasses and Enjoy!  It’s as simple as that!

Check back next week for a new drink recipe!
