Makes:
4 drinks
This sangría recipe uses white wine rather than red, along with peaches, banana, orange slices, and apple.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 (750-ml) bottle dry white wine
- 2 teaspoons superfine sugar
- 1 banana, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 orange, sliced
- 2 peaches, peeled and cut into 6 wedges each
- 1 red apple, peeled, cored, and diced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup seedless red grapes
- 12 ounces club soda or lemon-lime soda
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place 4 wine glasses in the freezer or refrigerator to chill.
- Pour the wine and sugar into a pitcher and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients, stir, and chill for an hour.

I lived in Uruguay for a time and my friends there taught me to make clerico EXACTLY this way, NEVER with red wine, except they add orange liquer and/or sparkling cider for extra kick. I was hoping to find a recipe with those added, in order to know exact amounts. Guess I'll just add "to taste."
There's a problem here (credential---I lived in Argentina as a girl). "Clerico" is an Argentinization of "claret cup", and claret is red. Plus, clerico in my experience was never a drink like sangria but a dessert of fresh fruit in wine.
