Move over beer and make room for Ruby Red Sangria!  For summer celebrations like Father’s Day, July 4th and your next cookout, make a pitcher of White Sangria or today’s Ruby Red version. Instead of red wine, you can also substitute grape or sparkling juice.

(Kids LOVE it!)

Chill your favorite fruity red like Tempranillo, Merlot, Zinfandel or Rosé wine.

    Pontotoc Vineyard in Fredericksburg, Texas has a similar sangria. It is yum and so is this recipe. I use honey instead of the simple syrup and only 1/3 cup.
