Sangria for me takes me to Tarpon Springs, Florida. My oldest daughter lived there for awhile and I visited once and fell in love with the Greek community and their focus on sponge diving. While there I went to little restaurant called Mama's with my Aunt. The two of us enjoyed pitchers of sangria while listening to the fisherman speak Greek and watching the boats come into port. It was so much fun! So of course, I had to try and recreate my sangria moment.
Andrea's Sangria
1/2 c. Cognac
3 c. Red or white wine
2 c. Fruit juice
1 sliced orange, lime, and lemon
1/2 c. Sliced strawberries
Put most of the fruit in the bottom of the pitcher. Save
a little to garnish the glasses.
Pour cognac over the fruit let set for up to one day.
Pour three cups of wine into the pitcher along with two cups of fruit juice. I
like orange, pineapple and mango fruit juice, tastes more tropical.
Refrigerate.
