Great Sangria Recipe

Wanted to share this wonderful recipe with you. We made it over the weekend, and everyone loved it. Perfect for summer barbeques!

1 750 ml bottle of red wine (I used Real Sangria)
1 lemon cut into wedges
1 orange cut into wedges
1 lime cut into wedges
2 tbsp sugar
splash of orange juice or lemonade
2 shots of Cointreau (GJ and Nicola - I know this is in your pantry!) or gin or triple sec
1 cup of cleaned strawberries
1 small can of crushed pineapple
4 cups ginger ale

Make this the night before your party. Pour wine into very large pitcher. Squeeze the juice wedges from the orange, lemon and lime into the wine and toss in the fruit wedges. Add pineapple, then sugar, orange juice and Cointreau. Let the flavors blend overnight. Add ginger ale, berries and ice just before serving. This is absolutely the yummiest!
