Sunrise Sangria

Jul 22, 2011

Last week we talked about this delicious and fruity drink, but didn’t get around to posting it until now.  Sorry about that!  But it’s here now.  It’s a wonderful concoction of citrusy fruit, raspberries and pineapple juice.  It’s sweet and refreshing to enjoy on these dog days of summer that we are in right now!
INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 orange, sliced round
  • 1 lemon, sliced round
  • 1 lime, sliced round
  • 1 small (about 6 oz) container of raspberries
  • 1/2 cup simple syrup (1/4 cup water, and 1/4 cup sugar mixed)
  • 1 bottle of rose wine
  • 1/2 cup tequila
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup triple sec

METHOD:
Combine all liquids in a large pitcher.  Cool in the refrigerator for about an hour.  Strl all of the citrus fruits and raspberries into the chilled punch at least 30 minutes before serving.  We recommend allowing the fruit to marinate at least an hour to give it the fuller flavor.  Fill your favorite beverage glass with ice, and pour and enjoy!
