It's been a long time since we've posted so I figured I'd drop one in here. The other night I was at work (Bristol Farms) and decided to try out this wine because it was on sale, 2 for $10, can't really beat that right? I figured if it was crappy I'd turn it into sangria. Long story short, it became a really delicious sangria. However, for the price the wine actually wasn't that bad. It was ok at first but then had a bit of an odd lingering flavor toward the end. Honestly, I had kind of been wanting to make sangria out of it in the first place so I didn't pay close attention to all the different notes.
Anyway, for those of you who like to play around with your crappy wines, here's a quick kind of tropical white sangria recipe I made up out of stuff we had in the house:
1 bottle cheap white wine (actually I had a leftover 3rd of another bottle of white wine from a few days prior so I threw that in there too)
1 cup pineapple juice
1 can Kern's Mango Nectar (can also use peach, but I only had mango at the time)
1 fresh peach, sliced into thin half circles
1 lime, half sliced and half juiced
1 mango, cut into small squares
1/4 cup Cointreau (or to taste, can use other triple sec but I prefer Cointreau)
Mix everything together in a pitcher, add some ice and serve.
Don't forget to eat all the delicious alcohol drenched fruit at the end.
