Portuguese Sangria Blanco

"I'm not a wine drinker, but I do enjoy sangria in the summer! This is a nice, light and refreshing white wine version and a great patio drink; be sure to serve some of the drunken little fruits with each glass! Prep time includes "sitting time" of sangria."

  1. I made this for a barbeque last weekend. The only thing I changed was that I left out the banana and threw in a handful of raspberries instead. Everyone enjoyed. I had a little leftover--it was even better the next day.
