White Sangria
Serves 7–8
WHAT YOU NEED:
1 bottle crisp, citrusy white. (Look for a Sauvignon Blanc or a Picpoul de Pinet, but an inexpensive Pinot Grigio will do in a pinch.)
1/4 cup orange liqueur, like Cointreau 
1/2 cup fruit juice in the citrus or tropical family, like orange or pineapple
1 1/2 cups cut-up fruit (I like peaches, mangoes, and sliced citrus fruits like oranges or lemons)
1 cup whole-leaf fresh herbs, like basil, mint, or tarragon
Club soda or seltzer
WHAT TO DO:
Macerate all the ingredients but the club soda for a few hours or overnight, if you can.
Pour over ice, top with club soda or seltzer
Enjoy with a colorful straw!
