Green Grape Sangria Food

FRESH GRAPE SANGRIA

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil 1 minute, swirling the pot occasionally, to make sure the sugar is dissolved, then transfer the syrup to a heat-proof container. Cool. The simple syrup will keep for a few weeks sealed in the refrigerator.
• Put the grapes and 2 tablespoons sugar in the bottom of a large serving pitcher and muddle to crush them. Stir in the grape juice and brandy, and then the pinot grigio. Taste, and add the simple syrup to sweeten, as desired.
• Stir in the mint and lemon, lime and orange slices. Chill for at least 4 hours. Serve over ice in large wine glasses.

FROZEN GRAPE SANGRIA

Steps:

• Put the green grapes in the freezer about 2 hours before you want to serve your sangria.
• Combine the chopped apple, lemon slices, halved red grapes, sugar, wine, white grape juice and vodka in a large glass pitcher filled with ice. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the frozen green grapes to glasses and fill with the sangria.

GREEN-GRAPE SANGRIA

Steps:

• Pureé grapes, apples, mint, sugar, vitamin C, and 2 cups wine in 2 batches in a blender until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids. Transfer pureé to a pitcher and stir in remaining wine. Chill, covered, at least 2 hours. Serve over ice.

NON-ALCOHOLIC BERRY SANGRIA

Steps:

• Add all fruit to large pitcher and muddle with a muddler or wooden spoon for 45 seconds.
• Add grape juice, elderberry syrup and sparkling water. Muddle again to combine for 30 seconds.
• Serve in glasses with ice.
• Store leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours, though best when fresh.
