Warm days and brief thunderstorms every afternoon!  It is summer in North Carolina!

To celebrate I will be making my favorite Summer Sangria this afternoon...White Peach .

WHITE PEACH SANGRIA

INGREDIENTS:

1 (750 milliliter) bottle white wine (Cheap but consistent Arbor Mist Peach or Orchard Fruits Chard works great)

3/4 cup peach-flavored vodka

6 tablespoons frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed

1/4 cup white sugar

1 pound peaches, pitted and sliced  (I use frozen when the fresh peaches are out of season)

3/4 cup seedless red grapes, halved

3/4 cup seedless green grapes, halved

DIRECTIONS:

In a large pitcher, combine wine, peach vodka, lemonade concentrate and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add sliced peaches, red and green grapes.

Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours to blend flavors. Serve over ice, and use a slotted spoon to include sliced peaches and grapes with each serving.

You can add club soda to individual glasses or the whole batch at the last minute to add sparkle and lighten or ginger ale to add sparkle and sweetness.

Call a friend.

Pour a glass or two  and put up your feet and enjoy.

Repeat!
