Sangria - Banana

By blum099

Sangria Bianca—If you like fruit salad and white wine, you’ll LOVE this crisp and refreshing drink. It’s the perfect prelude to summer, especially when the mercury rises this weekend

Ingredients

• For 2 large pitchers:
• 2 white peaches
• 2 white nectarines
• 4 oranges
• 1 pint strawberries
• 2 bottles torrontes (or any non-oaked white wine)
• 1/2 cup rose infused simple syrup

Preparation

Step 1

Slice the peaches and nectarines into eigths or tenths, depending on size. You can do whole slices of the citrus, but I prefer cutting supremes, so you can eat them after the fact. For the uninitiated, supremes are when you slice off the skin, and slice between the white membranes segmenting the fruit. Halve the strawberries. To make the syrup, combine 1/3 cup sugar and 1/3 cup water. Add the petals of one small very perfumey rose (I had some in the house) or a 1/4 teaspoon rosewater. Bring to a boil, and let it sit for 10 minutes to steep. Add the syrup and wine to the fruit, and let the mixture sit in the fridge for a few hours to combine. Pour and enjoy.
