Summer Fruit Sangria

This is seriously so good!!!!  Thanks to Martha Stewart!!  Delish!!

Ingredients

  • 6 cups assorted fruits (such as mango, pineapple, cantaloupe), sliced or cut into chunks
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups fresh basil or mint leaves ( I used Mint!!)
  • 1/2 cup orange liqueur, such as Cointreau (I used Grand Marnier!!!)
  • 1 bottle crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
  • Ice

Directions

  1. In a large bowl or pitcher, combine fruit, ginger, basil or mint, and orange liqueur. Mash gently with the back of a wooden spoon until basil is bruised and fruit releases juices. Add wine and lemon juice and stir to combine. Refrigerate 1 hour (or up to 1 day). To serve, fill eight glasses with ice and top with sangria.
