Cheers to Springtime

White/Red Wine Sangria

If you have a bottle of white wine that has been rolling around in your fridge for months or a red wine that has been sitting too long on the wine rack, let’s turn them into fun springtime cocktails.

From sangria to a spritzer,  there are many ways to repurpose wine. Here is one of my favorites:

White/Red Wine Sangria

  • 1 bottle wine
  • 1 cup flavored soda
  • ½ cup peach vodka
  • ¼ cup brandy
  • berries, if needed

Add ingredients to a pitcher, stir and add ice. If desired, add berries to each glass to provide a pop of color.
