But I guess that's the nice thing about sangria, it's easily adaptable. Also, we doubled the recipe since it calls for half a bottle of everything. They must have anticipated the doubling...<BR/><BR/>1 bottle white zinfandel (we used 2 bottles of a sweetish Sauvignon Blanc for the double recipe) 1/2 bottle of peach schnapps (used the whole bottle) 1/2 can pineapple juice (see where I'm going with this?) 1 liter of 7-UP or Sprite (2 liters) cut up peaches (we also added blueberries and raspberries, but I'm sure the varieties are many)<BR/><BR/>It was good and seemed to be enjoyed by the whole crowd.Brave Astronauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893671129001583065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33347656.post-58820377633071498252008-07-31T14:32:00.000-04:002008-07-31T14:32:00.000-04:00OMG...I'd forgotten all ABOUT Beefsteak Charli...OMG...I'd forgotten all ABOUT Beefsteak Charlie's!

(the comment above) <BR/><BR/>I think Sangria is in general one of those 'stew' type recipes where you basically throw anything together taht you like and it tastes delicious. Some like it stronger (add rum, triplesec, etc), some a little weaker (add club soda/orange soda) some white, some red. I don't think I've ever had a sparkling one, but that really sounds excellent. <BR/><BR/>I don't think you can ever go wrong taking whichever fruit is in season.6th Floor bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05778365407906872120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33347656.post-65775381848125695482008-07-29T09:08:00.000-04:002008-07-29T09:08:00.000-04:00If I had to make it up, as I did yesterday, I'd st...If I had to make it up, as I did yesterday, I'd start with a bottle of Cava (or the sparlking wine of your choice).
