    Summer Fruit Sangria

    glass of red sangria
     

    A number of years ago I ran across a recipe for Plum Sangria in a magazine. The idea of it sounded so delicious and for me that was all about the plums. I never made that recipe but the memory of it served as my inspiration for this recipe. All the stone fruits in season right now feel the perfect combination to serve up a tribute to summer. Mix it up; leave it in the refrigerator to enjoy whenever you feel like it!

    Summer Fruit Sangria

    bottle of wine and orange liqueur
    I’m not trying to be déclassé by leaving the price tag on the bottle of wine but the astounding price for the quality was a big winner in this recipe for me.
     
    In case you are not familiar with Citronage, I did not want to use Triple Sec in this recipe as I find it too sweet and intended to Cointreau which is also an orange liqueur.  Citronage is in the middle of the two, offering a clean orange flavor more affordably than Cointreau.

    I have been fortunate to garner ready attention and collaboration with my mixology pursuits at each North Boulder Liquors and Liquor Mart in Boulder for locals.  This particular purchasing trip was to North Boulder Liquors where they recommended a perfect wine for this Sangria.  I used a Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot 2010 (Chile, Concha Y Toro).  It provided a smooth flavor profile for the Sangria and was a whopping $10.99 for a 150ml bottle.  They assured me despite the affordable price did not imply a lower quality and they were spot on.

      Beautiful photos. The plums and cherries look amazing. Sangria is so versatile you can really do so much with it. I've made 4 different kinds already this summer. I might have to try yours as well 🙂

      Yum! Your sangria looks perfect. I was in Boulder recently and sipped on some delicious white wine sangria at The Med. I've been meaning to try making my own! Frontera is also my favorite affordable wine. The chardonnay is great.

      Wow so many delicious ingredients in this sangria! One of my good friends is sangria obsessed and always brings over a batch. I think I can finally one up her with this recipe. Yum!

      I love summer Sangria although I usually make mine with a white wine, peaches, apples and oranges.

      I always use Citronge for drinks too; most notably margaritas! Triple sec is nothing but sugar water with artificial flavors (which is why it's cheaper too) and there is no doubt using a better quality orange liqueur makes a big difference.

      If not so early I might say I want one of these now…on second thought; with little sleep last night, maybe this would be better than coffee right?
