Here is a great patriotic drink for today's thirsty Thursday..Memorial Day is coming up!  ♥

 

 

Ingredients:

1 (750 mL) bottle dry white wine

1 (12 oz.) can pear nectar
1 c. apple brandy
1 c. blueberries
1 c. cherries, pitted and halved
1 c. sliced strawberries
2 very large crisp apples
Directions

1. Pour all ingredients except apples into a large pitcher. Stir to combine.

 

2. To make apple stars, thinly slice cheeks of one apple. Using a small star-shaped cookie or pie crust cutter, cut out as many stars as possible. Add to pitcher and cover top with plastic wrap. Allow flavors to combine in the refrigerator at least four hours before serving.

 

3. Just before serving, thinly slice cheeks of remaining apple. Using a larger star-shaped cookie cutter, make one star for each glass. Make a slice almost to the middle in between two points. Ladle sangria into glass, then garnish and serve. enjoy! ♥
