It’s the 4th of July holiday weekend, full of barbeques, beach trips and pool parties. Since it’s Hashbrown Friday, we thought we’d share our twist on a recipe for Sangria.  It’s refreshing, it’s “light” and it’s perfect for entertaining in the backyard.
So, get out those tiki torches, pop in some party tunes, toss up some twinkle lights and celebrate!

2 cups white cran-apple juice
sugar to taste
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 bottle dry white wine
1 cup pineapple cubes
1 sour apple, cut in slices or chunks
1 bottle ginger ale
splash of cherry grenadine (for color or to taste)
1 tray of ice cubes (about 12)
In a pitcher, dissolve the sugar in the cran-apple juice. Add lemon juice, wine, grenadine, pineapple and apple in chunks. Mix. Add ginger ale and ice right before serving.  Serve in a pretty glass pitcher, garnished with pineapple or cherries.  Festive, fruity, yummy and pink!
Have a safe and happy holiday weekend, y’all!
