Party Sangria

Ingredients:

Barefoot Pinot Grigio (2 large bottles)
Blackberries-1 tub, rinsed**
Strawberries-1 tub, rinsed and halved
Sugar-- 1 and 1/3 cups
White-Cran Raspberry Juice
1 can 5-Alive frozen concentrate

Mix all ingredients except the blackberries and reserved strawberries in your largest drink dispenser and refrigerate overnight. This allows the flavors to "bleed" into the wine.
**Blackberries have a tendency to break down more quickly than the other fruit. If your dispenser has a spigot, the small kernels and seeds can get clogged there. This makes it difficult to fill cups and please your friends!

Taste OFTEN the next day prior to your party, in order to verify consistency of flavor......and to calm pre-parrrrty jitterszh. :)

Just prior to serving, rinse blackberries and remaining strawberries; slice the strawberries and place both fruits in the drink mixture. This will freshen up the color, since the other fruit will have broken down somewhat in the alcohol.

Some people like to add something fizzy just before serving. Ginger ale, tonic water, and Sprite are options.

This particular sangria recipe of mine generally goes quickly. Enjoy!!
