Features Chef Talk Cocktails Chef Talk: Lolita Cocina's Blanco Sangria Amy Kundrat April 07, 2011 The Blanco Sangria is a take on the classic red sangria with citrus and brandy. From Lolita: "We start with white wine and build up all the flavors we imagined would be present in the ‘perfect white sangria’. A little vanilla from vanilla vodka, a nice floral- honeyed component from Lillet Blanc and a touch of citrus from Citronage – a bracing orange liqueur. To play up our summertime ideal, we add ripe peaches, lychees, pineapple and grapes. Over ice, it makes you forget you are in CT, but rather on the Mexican Riviera, feet in the sand." Lolita Cocina's Blanco Sangria Serves 1 Ingredients 8 oz chilled white wine2 oz Absolut Vanilia2 oz Lillet Blanc1 oz Citronage1 oz bar syrup1 oz fresh squeezed limeSplash lychee juice Directions Combine all the above in a pitcher filled with ice. Stir in 1 ripe sliced peach or nectarine along with several fresh pineapple slices and a handful of halved red grapes and lychees.
