Strawberry Balsamic SangriaServes 20 (in a 10-ounce rocks glass filled halfway with ice)
4 cups strawberries
1 cup honey
2 lemons, zested & juiced
2 T balsamic vinegar
3 (750 milliliter) bottles dry white wine (I like Sauvignon Blanc) chilled
4 cups club soda
One day before serving (or earlier is fine, too), combine 4 cups strawberries with honey, lemon zest and lemon juice and stir. Cover and place in the refrigerator for a day or more to let the flavors combine.
When you are ready to serve, using a gallon pitcher or jug, combine fruit mixture with 3 bottles of wine. Shake vigorously to combine.
Just before serving, add the club soda and stir with a wooden spoon for at least two minutes. Pour into a pitcher, which can be refilled as needed from the gallon jug.
