Enchanté, Sangria!

I know what you're thinking. Sangria isn't French, that's true. It's roots are primarily Spanish, but once the weather warms up, it's the perfect patio sipper. Plus, it's pitcher-ready portability makes it a great summer drink staple.

We stumbled across this French-inspired Sangria recipe and couldn't resist sharing!

1 orange, peeled, segmented and halved

1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered

1 cup seedless green grapes, halved

1 750-ml bottle of rose wine

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and chill in the refrigerator for three hours. Add three cups ice and serve in wine glasses or large tumblers, making sure that each glass has an ample amount of both fruit and wine.

Tote this tasty treat along to your next summer fête, toast your friends with a jolly, "À votre santé," and enjoy!
