Romantic Cocktail:
Sweet and Tangy White Sangria

Watch out. This tasty stuff is stronger than you think, and goes down almost too easy. A little buzz is nice, but in my experience "passed out and drooling on a pillow" is not any man's (or woman's) ideal end to a romantic dinner.

Ingredients:
1 bottle (750 ml) dry white wine, chilled
1/2 C. vodka, chilled
4 med. limes
1/2 C. sugar
1 lemon
tonic water, as needed
mint leaves, to garnish (optional)

Instructions: Juice two of the limes. Slice other two limes in thin slices. Slice lemon into thin slices.

Combine all ingredients (except for tonic) in a medium pitcher.

Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

Serve over ice cubes, topping off with desired quantity of tonic. Garnish with mint.

Note: This cool and easy romantic dinner recipe is great-- but just a little sweet, especially if you use a sweet tonic. If you don't have much of a sweet tooth, you may want to add sugar to taste. Serves 2-6. My husband and I can down two pitchers of this easy romantic dinner recipe during a single Valentines dinner for two (it's awesome, and we're lushes!), so make as much as you think you'll want. It's very tasty.
