Some different, but yummy sangrias

Lillet Sangria

Makes 2 pitchers

2 bottles Spanish white wine
1 bottle Lillet Blanc
4 cans San Pellegrino Blood Orange Soda
1 apple, chopped
1 peach, chopped
1 orange, sliced

Begin your Sangria adventures with all the chopped fruit and half the liquids. Throw chopped fruit into the bottom of your pitcher and pour over 1/2 the Lillet Blanc and 1 bottle of wine. Refrigerate for at least two hours. Top off the wine with 1/2 the Blood Orange Soda (2 cans of the San Pellegrino, or 1 1/2 bottles of small Lorina). Serve over ice and some of the fruit. When the first pitcher is finished, refill with the remaining Lillet, wine, and soda. Let it chill as long as you can.

Ice wine Sangria
How about Icewine sangria? This flavorful cocktail combines one and a half ounces of Icewine, half an ounce of brandy, two ounces of unsweetened cranberry juice, juice from half a lime, a splash of grenadine, two ounces of soda water, seedless grapes, and a slice of fresh mango for the garnish. I always add fresh mint. It adds color and harmonizes extremely well with fruit flavors. Fill a Collins glass with ice, and then add the sangria....
Or try Moscato..nice and sweet too.
