White Sangria

I am not a big drinker.  Really, my whole family isn't.  But I've been finding these recipes for cute-looking drinks on Pinterest.  This is the one I made for our Christmas dinner.  It's a "Winter White Sangria."  (You can find the original recipe here.)

Soccer Mom and I made some the other night to celebrate a great GPA and 2012!  We sat outside on the porch and read books & magazines.  It was even chilly outside so we snuggled under blankets.  (Unheard of by Tampa standards.)

What you'll need:

White Wine

3 Cans of Sprite

Grand Marnier

Limes

Pomegranate Seeds 

Definitely, remove your jewelry.  You don't know how tricky these little pomegranates are!

I suggest watching some videos on Youtube about how to deal with them.  I watched two before I felt comfortable to "de-seed."

Also, wear an apron and a shirt you don't care about.

Wash the pomegranates.  Take a knife and slice the skin, dividing the fruit into quarters.  Then cut the top, kind of like a pumpkin.  Then pry open the fruit.

I used two pomegranates so we would have extra seeds.

Here's the boring part.  I took each little section and dunked it in a bowl of water.  While the seed is under water, maneuver the seeds away from the skin. 

Drain the seeds.

Slice the limes.

Pour everything into a pitcher.

Add ice and serve!
