SUMMERTIME BLISS!

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
1 Bottle (750 ml) of Rosé wine (to keep to the Spanish origins of Sangrias you may opt for a Rosé from Spain, a Rosado)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups strawberry lemonade
1 cup sliced strawberries (may use frozen strawberries in a pinch)
2 cups ginger ale


Preparation:
Pour wine in the pitcher and add sliced strawberries. Next add sugar, strawberry lemonade and stir gently. Add ginger ale and ice just before serving.
If you'd like to serve your Sangria right away, use chilled white wine and chilled ginger ale - serve over lots of ice.
