TIME TO UNWIND WITH THE DOTW

The best thing about summer are the nights... So why not enjoy it with:


"Mid Summer's Night Sangria"

4 cups of blueberries
1 cup of Seraphin VSOP
1 bottle of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon)
2 cups of water
3/4 cups of sugar
1 granny smith apple sliced
1 handful of grapes
1 tbsp of mint leaves
1 pinch of ground ginger

Add 2 cups of blueberries, mint leaves and water together in a saucepan. Bring to a boil then let simmer for 10 mins stirring occasionally.. Remove from heat, cool slightly and strain. Cool syrup.. For sangria, in a decanter (pictured) combine the blueberry syrup, red wine, Seraphin Cognac, fruit, ginger and a few sprigs of mint, if desired. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours and serve over ice.
