1/3cupgranulated sugar
1/2cupbrandy
3cupslimeade
2 to 3 cupsMezzacorona Pinot Grigio
lime slices and mint, for garnish
lemon lime soda, for toppingoptional
Instructions
Make the Sangria: Muddle the blackberries and sugar in the bottom of your pitcher with the end of a wooden spoon, to release some of the juices. Add the brandy and limeade, and stir everything together. Let it sit for 15 minutes - this will allow the sugar to dissolve so you don't have a granular texture to your drink. (You can always take a spoonful to taste and make sure the sugar has dissolved). Add 2-3 cups (depending on how strong you want the sangria to be) of Mezzacorona's Pinot Grigio. Stir, and add some fresh lime slices.
Serve + Store: Enjoy immediately, in chilled glasses or glasses filled with ice. Top with a splash of lemon lime soda (optional), and a sprig of mint. This is best on the first day but you can keep leftover sangria in the fridge (covered) for an extra day, if desired.
