A Recipe for White Sangria

2 green apples
3 bartlett pears
4 oranges
2 lemons
1 big jug of cheap 'Rhine' wine
1 bottle of cheap moscato

Wash and slice fruit into thin pieces with skin on. Place into a large container. Cover with jug wine and moscato. Add a cup of Cointreau. Stir, and let sit refrigerated for at least 36 hours- longer is better, but sangria reaches peak at around 3 days.  Serve over ice with a splash of ginger ale.

Saori and I made a huge batch up for Adam's party last night- we ended up getting the jug of wine instead of a box because we wanted something that we could transport the sangria in to Adam's place. So we took the terrible wine, transformed it with fruit and time, and rejugged it, and threw the whole thing in my backpack along with a 12 pack of ginger ale cans.

Neither of us wanted to be the designated driver, so we took the bus. The jug of sangria plus all the soda plus the freeze packs made the backpack pretty heavy, but it also contributed the fun of pulling out a complete white sangria package when we finally got to the party. This one was surprisingly time, actually. Took a long time to really get going, but by midnight, the place was swinging and it was fantastic. The last party I was at Adam's was actually broken up by the police. This one was not as crowded or wild, but still a lot of fun with much dancing and drinking.

Saori and I bowed out early, around 1:30, as the party was reaching it's peak, since we needed to catch the last bus of the night back home and avoid the 30 minute walk in the middle of the night.

I was up again at 8, not terribly hung over, and went to school to punch out my final work for studio.
