Shinsei Sangria

INGREDIENTS

• 3 pears, sliced
• 3 oranges, sliced
• 6 Granny Smith apples, sliced
• 24 canned lychees, drained
• 1 1/2 pineapples, peeled and cut into large chunks
• One 750-milliliter bottle vodka
• One 750-milliliter bottle Sauvignon Blanc
• One 750-milliliter bottle sake
• Ice

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

1. In an airtight container or large bowl covered with plastic wrap, combine all of the ingredients except the ice and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. Strain the mixture into a punch bowl, discarding all of the fruit except for 18 of the lychees. Add enough ice to chill the sangria to serving temperature. Serve in ice-filled white wine glasses and garnish with the reserved lychees.
