For an outing to listen to jazz in the National Gallery of Art's Sculpture Garden, I made this summery sangria I read about in Martha Stewart's Everyday Food magazine... I can't seem to find the recipe online, but the gist of it was thus: - lots of chopped up summer fruit (I used cantaloupe and a little peach)
- lots of mint and basil
- white wine
- orange liqueur
- sliced ginger
Let it soak together for a couple hours, pour over ice and enjoy!
Later in the evening, after we'd run out of wine, but the fruit was still in the pitcher, we poured some sparkling wine over it and that worked well, too.
