A few years ago, I did a post about sangria recipes for “all seasons,” inspired by my recipe for autumnal sangria. Today, I’d like to explore the more-predictable-but-always-refreshing summer varieties.

First, I’d like to impart my never-fail Grapefruit Sangria recipe. I developed it when we were counting calories (and when aren’t we…). I cut out a lot of sugar by using unsweetened juice and replacing the traditional sweet liquor (like brandy) with Fresca. Makes it extra refreshing, too!

White Grapefruit Sangria

• 2 bottles white moscato
• 1 bottle red moscato
• 1 bottle sauvignon blanc
• 2 cans Fresca
• 3 cups unsweetened white grapefruit juice
• 3 cups grapefruit vodka
• 2 ripe peaches, cubed
• 1 orange, peeled & sliced
• 1 red delicious apple, cubed

And now onto the recipes I found on the interwebs. Enjoy!
