Sangria two ways

Option one: Easy Mango Peach Sangria (recipe and image both courtesy of LifeHack.org) -

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 cup Grand Marnier
• 1 bottle Viognier
• 1 mango, chopped
• 2 peaches, cut into thin wedges
• 1/4 cup mint

Preparation:
In a saucepan, cook the sugar and water until the sugar dissolves; transfer to a pitcher and refrigerate until cold. Stir in the Grand Marnier, Viognier, mango, peaches and mint and serve over ice.
Serves: 2-3

Note: Voigner is a dry, crisp white wine, so you can easily substitute Pinot Grigio for Voigner in this recipe. 

Option two: Sangria on the porch at Ciao Baci!

Will you be calling the hogs in Little Rock next weekend?  Ciao Baci is a cozy restaurant and bar in the Hillcrest neighborhood, close to War Memorial Stadium.  Ciao Baci is known for its gorgeous wrap-around porch and its delicious sangria - perfect for an early fall football weekend!
