Recipe: Colonizer Tears aka White Sangria
I was invited to a Juneteenth party and was unsure of what to bring or even what a Juneteenth party was supposed to be. Anyway, I didn’t want to bring anything too heavy. And for some wild reason, my friends rely on me for booze. Go figure.
So I decided to whip up a nice “light” sangria. There are a bunch of recipes out there that I sampled from. The end result was a real crowd pleaser. I made 6 liters of this shit and it was gone within an hour of my arrival.
Ingredients:
Glass
3 ounces white wine, Sauvignon Blanc or whatever you can get your hands on
1 ounce vodka
½ ounce triple sec
1 ounce lemonade
1 ounce flavored sparkling water (stay away from coconut flavored bubbly)
Sprig of mint
Orange slice for garnish
Pitcher
1 bottle white wine, Sauvignon Blanc or whatever you can get your hands on
1/3 cup apple vodka
1/4 cup triple sec
1/3 lemonade
1/3 cup flavored sparkling water (stay away from coconut flavored bubbly)
1 sliced lime
1 sliced lemon
1 diced mango
Handful of spanked mint
Feel free to alter this recipe as you see fit. I often change up the fresh fruit that I add to it.
