The addition of Tequila & Triple Sec make this Sangria a little unique. It's a big hit at parties..........
Raspberry Tequila Sangria
Sangria is a traditional Spanish drink that combines wine and fresh fruit. This Mexican-style sangria has a higher alcohol content than most sangrias (great for pairing with spicy foods) and is as much a margarita as it is a sangria. Always use a tasty wine when making sangria as it will be the most prominent flavor.
INGREDIENTS:
1 bottle White Wine, preferably Spanish, Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris
1 cup silver Tequila
1/2 cup Triple Sec
1/4 cup fresh Lime Juice
1/4 cup Sugar
2 pints fresh Raspberries or 10 ounce frozen package (thawed) Fresh is better!
24 ounces (2 cans) Ginger Ale
ice
Lime wedges, for garnish
PREPARATION:
Place raspberries in a small bowl and mash with a wooden spoon, or slice into thinly. Add the white wine, tequila, triple sec, and lime juice to a large glass pitcher. Stir in the sugar and continue stirring until completely dissolved.
Stir in the raspberries.
Cover pitcher with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Just before serving, stir in the ginger ale and top off with ice.
