This Sangria is pretty darn tasty and just as good looking. Plus it’s supposedly for people on a diet…although, it’s probably still not good for you. Especially if you drink an entire pitcher by yourself.
Swingin’ Sangria
One 2-serving packet (about 1 teaspoon) sugar-free lemonade powered drink mix
One 8-ounce can pineapple chunks packed in juice, not drained
2 cups sliced strawberries
1 orange, peeled, roughly chopped, seeds removed
1 peach or nectarine, roughly chopped
1 lime, sliced into rings
1 750-millimeter bottle of pinot grigio
12 ounces diet lemon-lime soda
8 ounces brandy
Directions:
Combine powered drink mix with 8 ounces of water in a glass and stir to dissolve. Set aside.
Place all fruit in a large pitcher. Add lemonade mixture, brandy, and pinot grigio.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 5 hours. Overnight is best.
Just prior to serving, stir in soda.
