Introducing The Sangria Stack

The Jewels:

 Ruby Silver Bardot Cuff + Amethyst Silver Bardot Cuff + Kai Silver Cuff

• 1 Cup of raspberries and/or blackberries 
• 1 Cup diced pineapples (fresh, or canned with juice)
• 4 Cups ginger ale

Directions

• Slice the lemon, limes, oranges, pineapple, and strawberries and add them to a large pitcher
• Mix the fruit, then top with raspberries and blackberries
• Add the bottle of semi-sweet red wine (or substitute with white for a white sangria)
• Add the gin, orange juice, and ginger ale
• Add in 2 Tbsp of sugarand stir
• Put in the refrigerator for at least an hour for the flavors to mix (it tastes best if left overnight)
• When you are ready to serve, add an assortment of fruit to an oversized wine glass or cocktail glass and pour in the sangria
• Enjoy!

Tip:

When you run out of sangria, add another bottle of wine, gin, orange juice and ginger ale to the fruit left in the pitcher.  Add more fruit as needed.  One pitcher of sangria fruit can be used for several pitchers of sangria. Yum!
