Champagne Sangria (fancy & figure friendly=perfect!)

image

 

I really enjoy sipping on a nice champagne or sparkling wine.  Sangria on the other hand just screams summer to me so I couldn’t resist the idea to combine the two for a fabulously fruity, figure friendly, & fancy cocktail!  This is lower carb & lower calorie than traditional sangria plus totally yummy, pretty looking, super quick, & fuss free  😉

 

Ingredients:

*1 bottle brut champagne or sparkling wine

*12 fresh sweet cherries

*1.5 ounces raspberry vodka (I specifically used the Smirnoff Sorbet Light Raspberry Pomegranate but any of the Skinny Girl Vodkas would substitute in for exactly the same nutritional info or you could use another fruity flavored vodka that works well with cherries for slightly higher calorie/carb count than I’m going to give you at the end)

 

Wash cherries well.  Cut each in half and remove pit.  Place all cherries in a small bowl & add vodka.  Smash & muddle cherries with a spoon.  Cover & place bowl in fridge for at least one day or up to a week-mixing & smashing it occasionally.

To serve place 1/4 of vodka/cherry mix (6 cherry halves) in a champagne flute.  Top with 4.1 ounces of champagne or sparkling wine & stir.  Sip slowly with your pinky out & relax 😉
