Recipe: Honey Dew Sangria

We don't know about you, but we are more than ready to get our summer on these days. Maybe it was the glimpse of 70F degree whether we had in Anaheim a couple of weeks ago, but we need to either be in the summer season Real Soon Now, or drink enough summery cocktails to delude ourselves into thinking we are in summer. Join us, won't you? Ingredients

• 8 oz. ice
• 2 oz. Pinot Gris white wine
• 2 oz. white cranberry fruit juice
• 1/2 oz. melon flavored vodka
• 1 oz. Monin Pear Syrup
• Splash o' lemon lime soda

Directions Combine all ingredients except the lemon lime soda and shake to blend thoroughly. Pour into chilled wine glass and top with soda. Garnish with frozen honey dew melon slices, mint leaves, the usual fare.
