1 c.  Seltzer chilled

 

Directions:  In a medium bowl, combine strawberries, raspberries, mango, nectarines, agave, and Grand Marnier.  Then refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours to allow for the fruits to marinate with liqueur.

RED SANGRIA PALOOZA

·       
· Two bottles of a good table red wine
· Half bottle of brandy. Use the pint bottle, if you what more of a kick use the whole pint
· Fruit, I can’t not say this enough, fresh ripe fruit please. When cutting fruits try to make them all the same size.
· 1 pint Strawberries, hulled and cut up
· 1 Bunch of grapes red seedless, Cut in half
· 1 apple peeled and diced
· 2 peaches not over ripe, Large dice (can’t get good peaches use a couple of snack pack diced peaches in the natural juice, in fact even if you get the fresh peaches add one of these with the juice too, yes this is a secret and now you know it too).
· 1 orange, peeled and cut into sections
· 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt
· 1 /2 bottle of Dark Agave syrup, TO TASTE. make this the last thing you add, do it to taste. You will notice there is no granulated sugar in this recipe; the Agave gives it a richer flavor and a smoother mouthfeel.

These fruits are optional
· 1 /2-pint Blueberries freeze solid before adding

Directions: Prepare fruit and place in a large pitcher, add salt, Brandy and wine mix well BUT gentle you do not want to break the fruit.   After a good mixing now add half the amount of the Agave and mix than taste, add more and taste again, keep doing this part till you get the taste you want.  

After it is done place sangria mixture in the fridge for couple of hours or overnight is best.  When serving pour over ice in the glass.  Don’t put ice in pitcher as it will dilute the Sangria.   For want some fizz top with some sparkling water, or prosecco, I prefer the Prosecco.

Now Pour and Sip slowly and sit back and enjoy with your guests.  Serve with any summer time snacks or meals.
