My fun-girl bridge group came over last night for snacks, dessert, cocktails, and-oh, yes, cards, of course! As the weather has been H-O-T as the hammered hinges of Hell lately, I wanted to serve something cool and refreshing. I found a recipe for white sangria in my file, no idea of source, and fiddled with it (omitting the cup of sugar, for one thing; the lemonade concentrate is already sugary enough!) until I achieved this Absolut stunner of a summer beverage. Cheers, y'all! Ingredients:
2 (750 ml) bottles dry riesling wine |
1 (12 ounce) package frozen lemonade concentrate |
2 1/2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice, frozen in ice-cube trays |
1 1/2 cups absolut pear-flavored vodka |
1 ripe anjou pear, peeled, cut up, and frozen |
1 green anjou pear, sliced thin |
2 kiwi fruits, sliced thin |
Directions:
1. Put wine and vodka in the freezer for a few hours ahead of serving time.
2. In a blender, combine vodka, pineapple ice cubes, and pear pieces. Blend until slushy, and add to chilled wine and lemonade concentrate, in large pitcher with sliced pears and kiwi.
