COCKTAIL PARTY: RED WINE SANGRIA

I can't wait to kick off Memorial Day Weekend! It means summer is officially here!  Hopefully the weather will be nice, and friends/family on hand will be plentiful because I've got a recipe for Sangria that you will want to sip on all weekend :) My step mother in law has made the most amazing Sangria the last few times we have been to visit, and I can't seem to get it out of my head. Its so refreshing and delicious...

To make 2 pitchers, Add 2 bottles Red table wine [preferable rioja or cabernet] and sliced fruits [orange, lime, green apple, peach, grapes if you want ] together. Let refridgerate for 1 -3 hours. When chilled and ready to serve, and mix in one bottle of ginger ale [or 1/2 bottle ginger ale per 1 bottle red wine] Add ice, and serve!
