refreshing white sangria


although my personal fave is my red sangria recipe, this white sangria recipe is pretty amazing too!  the peaches, pears and citrus fruits add depth to the flavor, and the bubbly ginger ale makes it super refreshing.  perfect for a hot summer afternoon.  enjoy!


ingredients:
- 1 bottle of white wine (i like to use riesling)
- a couple shots of citrus vodka
- 2 peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced
- 1 asian pear, sliced
- 2 oranges, 1 cut into wedges, 1 sliced
- 2 lemons, 1 cut into wedges, 1 sliced
- 2 cups of ginger ale
- sugar to taste

directions:
- in a large pitcher, stir wine, citrus vodka and ginger ale together
- squeeze the juice of the orange and lemon wedges into the pitcher
- add peach slices, pear slices, orange slices and lemon slices
- i personally like my sangria not too sweet, but please as much sugar as you want :)
- chill in the fridge for at least a couple hours; add ice right before serving
- enjoy!!!
