The grapes are loving the heat! You can practically watch them growing.
We're celebrating the heat by kicking back and experimenting with different sangria recipes using the new Crofut Northwoods wines. To make a Purple Viking, use two bottles of our Northwoods Red. Or substitute our Northwoods White to make a MinneSNOWta. Both taste fabulous!
2 bottles Northwoods wine
2 cans 7-Up
2 oz triple sec
1/4 cup brandy
1/3 cup sugar
1 sliced orange
2 sliced lemons
lots of ice!
Slice the orange and lemons into a big punch bowl and pour the wine over top. Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves. (You may want to add more sugar, depending the quality of your fruit.) Add triple sec and brandy, and stir some more.
When you are ready to serve the sangria, add the 2 cans of soda. If needed, add more sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
Add ice to bowl to chill, then put ice in your serving glasses and pour sangria over. On a hot day this will go fast!
