Recipe from Mother Nature Network.
Strawberry Basil Sangria
Ingredients
1/2 pound fresh strawberries
1 apple
1 ounce fresh whole basil leaves
1 bottle Cline Cellar Cool Climate Chardonnay
1/2 cup organic sugar
1 cup club soda
1 cup white grape juice
Cooking directions
Trim and thinly slice the strawberries.
Slice and dice the apple into very small bits.
Score the basil leaves with a fork. I did this instead of cutting the leaves into strips as I did not want my guests choking on basil while trying to enjoy this drink. Just rub the basil leaves gently with a fork in order to release their flavor in the sangria.
Layer the fruit, sugar and basil in a large pitcher and let sit for about 10 minutes. This is just to let the sugar absorb the juices from the basil and the fruit. You'll see it turn a bit red.
Add the club soda first and then the remaining liquids. Stir well and serve.
