Oh, Doctor Guava Sangria

Presenting: the perfect antidote for the End-of-Summer Blues.

I cobbled together this recipe based more or less on whatever I had in my refrigerator already (I ran out to the store for guava juice and strawberries, because I think it’s inexcusable not to include those two ingredients in summer sangrias), and it is perfection in a glass (or, in this case, Mason jar).

OH, DOCTOR GUAVA SANGRIA

What you need:

1 bottle relatively cheap, preferably vaguely sparkly white wine (I use Vinho Verde, about $6.99 and even cheaper at Trader Joe’s)

3/4 cup guava juice

3/4 cup orange juice

1 lemon, thinly sliced

1 lime, thinly sliced

1 tsp lemon zest

1/2 tsp lime zest

A handful of sliced strawberries

1/4 cup club soda (optional)

What you do:

1. In a large pitcher, combine first seven ingredients and let sit overnight in refrigerator.

2. Just before serving, add strawberries and a splash of club soda (if desired) to each serving. Garnish with a lemon wheel or halved strawberry.
