Summer Drinks

Siren's Sangria

1 bottle of Yellowtail Merlot
1/4 cup Demerara Sugar ( unrefined brown sugar)- melt into a tablespoon of hot water first to
create a simple syrup so it incorporates well.
1 Meyer Lemon , 1/2 juiced into mixture then discarded, 1/2 sliced fairly thinly & added to the mix
1 Orange, juiced and sliced as above
Mix well and let stand for two hours - no less or it won't taste as good !
Chill for at least an hour and serve over ice in large goblets.

Makes 1 pitcher for four .
Can be doubled or tripled as needed !
