White Wine Citrus Sangria

CarolAnn's Note:

This is the most wonderful sangria I have ever made -- but I much prefer white wine in sangria to red wine. This is great for serving at a spring or summer party -- just watch out! It gets consumed quickly! And, of course, you can add additional fruit to your liking.

I loved this recipe!!! I made it exactly as stated but used pellegrino instead of club soda - it was yummy!! My picky husband thought it wasn't sweet enough, so the second time we made it we doubled the brandy and cointreau - just as good, but with more of a kick. :)

Nice and refreshing.

Very tasting - just like the my favourite from a local restaurant. Couple of minor changes/additions for our own taste - used Sauvigon Blanc wine, made a simple syrup instead of using just sugar and added limes (love limes!!) Thank for posting!!
