Medjool Date Sangria Cocktail

Provided by:

Natural Delights

Ingredients:

1/4 cup Medjool date syrup (see recipe)
1/4 cup Brandy
1 750 milliliter bottle Pinot Noir (or your favorite red wine)
2 cups Bing cherries, pitted
1 cup sliced strawberries
2 white flesh peaches, sliced thin
3 sprigs of fresh thyme (more for garnish)
4 small fresh basil leaves
1 cup cold club soda (if you like your Sangria a little sweeter, try diet 7-up)

Directions:

Preparation In a large pitcher, combine the Medjool date syrup, brandy, wine, cherries, strawberries and sprigs of thyme. Let macerate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Remove pitcher from the refrigerator, add the peaches and gently stir. Layer 2 large wine glasses or glass tumblers with ice, and a spoon-full of the fruit. Fill each glass with wine and a splash of club soda (or diet 7-up) and garnish each glass with a piece of fresh thyme and the small basil leaf. Now relax, enjoy and repeat.
