Pinterest Challenge: Summer Sangria

I mentioned that last week I hosted my bunco group. That meant I was in charge of dinner for 14+ women. I decided that since we were so close to Cinco de Mayo to do a taco bar for dinner. I could cook the chicken in the crockpot all day, cut up some taco toppings, warm up some tortillas and we would be set. I was looking through the most recent edition of Everyday With Rachael Ray and I saw this article:

A sangria bar? Sign me up!

One problem... I have never made sangria, so I started to look up some recipes.

I also looked at the sangria recipes Rachael Ray also has on her website. While a lot of those look yummy, they all have a TON of ingredients, besides for the cut up fruit. I wanted simple. Then I stumbled across this

4 ingredient, plus fruit? Sign me up. I did make a couple of adjustments. I don't like red wine. Actually, I don't really like wine, but I tolerate the white kinds much more. So after standing in the wine aisle for way to long, I grabbed a random bottle of white that was under $7. Also, my grocery store didn't have passion fruit juice concentrate, so I settled on 2 cans of Passion-Orange mix.

I had two trays of fruit cut up for people to add to their cups: fresh mango, apples, limes, kiwi,and oranges and a tray of frozen strawberries, peaches, raspberries, cherries and blueberries.

I also made up two non-alcoholic beverages for people who  don't drink alcohol. I thought lemonade and peach ice tea would also be fun to add fruit to. I had a glass of lemonade with berries and mango added to it.
The sangria turned out so yummy! Another lady in the group brought a bottle of peach schnapps to add to the sangria, so we topped our red solo cups off with it. I thought it was a great addition to the punch.

Do you have a go to drink recipe? (this is now mine!) Did you do anything for the Pinterest challenge this time?

Yum!! This looks like so much tasty fun!! What a great idea, especially since doing the lemonade and tea blend so seamlessly and make things equally fun and festive for the non-drinkers! Way to go!
