Strawberry Lemonade Sangria

This one goes out to reminiscing about last summer with my sister... although she can't enjoy these until NEXT summer with me. Which is a good thing for two reasons 1) Summer is almost over, and more importantly, 2) she is blessing me with my first niece of nephew soon!

Anyways, this was amazing, fresh, sweet, yummy and shall I dare say "healthy"?! Here's the recipe...

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Strawberries (can use frozen too)
  • 1 1/2 - 2 cups White wine
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup strawberry lemonade
Make a "loose simple syrup" with 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup sugar over the stove. Chop up straberrys (or throw in whole if using frozen) and add them to the pot once syrup begins to form. Cook on medium-low for about 5 minutes, when the strawberries really start to break down and mix in to the syrup.
Add white wine and lemonade. You can adjust this measurement, depending on how strong you like your drinks ;)
We then put ice in it to cool it down and threw it in the now empty strawberry lemonade jug to then easy transport to our picnic lunch at the springs!

Enjoy! <3
