A slightly bubbly sangria with hints of pear and sour green apple… Perfect party punch!
Ingredients
- FOR THE SIMPLE SYRUP:
- ½ cups Sugar
- ½ cups Water
- FOR THE SANGRIA:
- 1 bottle Dry Sparkling White Wine, 750 ML
- 12 ounces, fluid Canned Pear Nectar (found In The Juice Section)
- ½ cups Apple Vodka
- ⅓ cups Lime Juice
- ⅓ cups Simple Syrup
- FOR GARNISH:
- 2 whole Limes, Sliced
- 2 whole Pears, Cored And Sliced
- 2 whole Green Apples, Cored And Sliced
Preparation
For the simple syrup:
Place ingredients in a microwave safe dish (I use a large glass Pyrex measuring cup)and microwave on high for 2 minutes at a time (stirring in between). Continue heating until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is no longer cloudy. Allow to cool before using. Refrigerate extra for up to 2 weeks.
For the sangria:
Combine the sangria ingredients in a large pitcher and stir well. Be sure to pour the sparkling wine in slowly or the fizz will bubble up and overflow! Add the sliced fruit, setting aside a few rounds of each for garnishing the individual glasses. Refrigerate the sangria for a few hours, until chilled.
Pour sangria over ice into individual glasses and garnish with remaining fruit slices.
