[Kraklen]

2. yes.

You need a big bowl of bud and a wading pool to dip your feet into.

7. I could fill the wading pool. I'll pass on the bud.

:puke:

5. I've never had white sangria

6. All right, what's the recipe?

And no chicken!

9. Here you go:

>2-3 bottles of white wine
>3-4 cups of summer fruit (strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, peaches, mango, etc). I use Trader Joe's frozen fruit-they have a tropical mix that's awesome.
>2-3 cans of Goya fruit juice, available on Spanish food aisle in grocery store. I use Strawberry, Mango, and Pinapple Passion Fruit.
>1/2-1 cup of Cointreau, Triple Sec, or Orange Liquer. You can also use Orange Juice.
>White Rum, Captain Morgan's or Flavored Vodka (Raspberry, Strawberry, Currant) to taste (or strength)
>If too sweet ot strong, cut with a liter of selzer.

I change the ingredients according to what I have in the house.

11. Ohhhh, thanks!

Never tried to do the white.:9

17. Damn! You do know how to make white sangria.

I was testing some pre-made swill my husband picked up to try to take a short cut with our July 4 party. I will most definitely be recommending we NOT go that route.

2-3 bottles...that's the way to make it!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

20. You can keep reusing the fruit-it ferments and makes the sangria stronger

Delicious! :9

8. you mean to tell me, Democrats are the party of

White sangria?
Too good for Black sangria, aren't you? :evilgrin:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

10. Guinness does not make good Sangria

I think I tried that once in college. Red Sangria is too heavy when it's 100 degrees out.

The one who made the black jelly bean the worst tasting candy ever!!"

16. LOL! Excellent come back and

definitely worthy of someone in the Boston environs. ;)

18. Guinness is a food here

many recipes have guinness as an ingredient! :-)

19. I was married in Massachusetts.

My father-in-law thought it de rigeur to serve Sam Adams, Guinness and Harps as the beers of choice at the reception. Good thing he was paying. The guests concurred.

21. Where are the in-laws from in Mass?

[jonnyblitz]

13. oh no!! don't drink too many or you will be all raggedy tomorrow!

:P

[Kathy in Cambridge]

14. I watered it down with selzer

not to worry! :-)

[Pacifist Patriot]

15. What an astounding coincidence. I was sitting in my backyard

drinking white sangria...but I fell asleep and ended up with a 45 minute nap. It would have been 60 but a short person poked me in the ribs and insisted on having an apple butter sandwich.

78 and overcast (raining most of the day) here, but still a glorious day. Any day with a nap is glorious in my estimation.

By the way, despite my flippant tone I am dead serious. I did begin my late afternoon with white sangria on the back patio.

[BlondieK143]

22. That sounds awesome!

:D You WILL be making me some of that my next visit, right?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

23. Of course! It's wicked yummy!
