Summer Thirst Quencher


Virgin Sangria - this is what I'm bringing to a dinner party tonight where there will be wine for all the guests and nothing for the preggo guests... we can't let that happen.

What you need:
a large pitcher
a peach or two
an orange
a lemon
lemon juice
lime juice
a can of pineapple rings
a container of white grape juice
apple juice, or apple juice concentrate
a bottle of club soda

My cooking method (which carries over to my drink making... I should never be a bartender) is - throw some things together in proportions similar to the recipes you've been researching and hope it tastes ok.
With that in mind.  I poured the whole container of white grape juice in the pitcher, about 2 cups of apple juice, a half can of pineapples with the juice, one sliced peach, about 3 tablespoons both lemon and lime juice, one lemon (seeded and sliced), one orange (seeded, peeled, and sliced) and let it all marinate for several hours.
Serve over ice with about 1/3 to 1 ratio club soda to juice.
Enjoy and smile smugly while watching the wine-drinking non-pregnant go green with envy.
