White Peach Sangria...kinda.

Faced with the prospect of bringing something to a BBQ that would quench thirsts in a creative way, I turned to my good pal, allrecipes.com. This was my selection:

I used sauvignon blanc for my base. Due to time constraints and frankly, the fact that I was feeling lazy, I couldn't find peach vodka. Therefore, I went with passion fruit vodka. I substituted a bag of frozen raspberries for the grapes because I like raspberries better. Then I added four fresh white peaches and almost an entire bag of frozen peaches chopped up. Next time, I might go with some mango too, especially if I am using the passion fruit vodka.

I tripled the recipe, but didn't add quite as much sugar (I used two cups, rather than the two and a quarter cups.) Next time, I would go even lighter on the sugar. I ended up splashing club soda on the top (and later mixing it with champagne, but that's neither here nor there) to make it a little bit less sweet.

Here is the result:



Also, this kind of pitcher does NOT travel well. I speak from someone who had to clean out a certain someone's car the next day due to a tragic tipping on the way to the party. Ooops.
