My friends have been telling me for years I make a mean Sangria for a Norwegian girl, but I did grow up in CA. So, assuming they haven't just been nice, here's my recipe. Varies depending upon what I have on hand.
2 c. red table wine (I usually spend around $6 a bottle, I don't go too low on this, but usually buy a nice Spanish red)
1 c. fresh squeezed orange juice
1 c. ginger ale (some times I have home made around and this is always great to use)
3/4 c. - 1 cup orange liquer
1/4 c. pineapple + juice
slice up 1 lemon
slice up 1 lime
add a handful of red or green grapes (For big parties I freeze these and put in the drinks to keep them cold).
2-3 c. ice.
Put all together in pitcher.
Let set at least 1-2 hours. I usually pour in wine cups over additional ice and throw in a few decorative orange slices.
Enjoy and happy summer!
I serve with a little onion tart and/or chips and guacamole.
