Drink up Thursday: White Berry Lemon Sangria

Invidual white berry lemon sangrias

Personal, individually-portioned sangrias made and served in the very same jar. Strawberries, blackberries, lemons, and apples soak in white wine and rum - then you simply pull the jars out of the fridge, add ice and soda, plop in a straw, and hand 'em out. Your next party just got loads easier.

yield: 8 INDIVIDUAL SANGRIAS

prep time: 10 MINUTES

total time: 10 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 lemons, thinly sliced
• 1 apple, cored and sliced (any kind)
• 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced lengthwise
• 1 cup blackberries
• 1 750 ml bottle white wine (a dry-ish white wine is best – I like Sauvignon Blanc) (about 1/2 cup per jar)
• ½ cup white rum, divided (1 tablespoon per jar)
• Approx. 4 cups lemon-lime soda
• Equipment
• 8 16-ounce pint mason jars with lids and rims
• Straws

DIRECTIONS:

1. Divide lemon slices among the eight jars, then the apples, then the strawberries and blackberries.
2. Pour the wine (1/2 cup each) and rum (1 tablespoon each) into each jar, over the fruit.
3. Cover each jar with a lid and screw shut.
4. Place in the refrigerator for 4 – 5 hours, or up to 12 hours.
5. Remove from refrigerator. Add ice and pour lemon-lime soda to the top of the jar. Plop in a straw and serve.
