Dinner for One: Blackberry Sangria

Watch Brooke Peterson mix up a glass of Blackberry Sangria here. 

What you need:

Inexpensive white wine (preferably a Pinot Grigio or something that is not too sweet – you'll be adding the sweet)!
3-4 sliced blackberries
2-3 pear slices (thin)
Sparkling water
Fresh mint leaves

What you'll do:

Fill your chilled wine glass about halfway with white wine.

Add 3-4 sliced blackberries. 

Add 2-3 thin slices of pear.

Sprinkle in 1-2 fresh mint leaves (tearing or cutting the leaves will bring out more flavor).

Fill the rest of the glass with cold, sparkling water.

With a large spoon, stir your sangria and, if desired, smash your fruit to unlock more fruit flavor.

Chill in fridge or add ice cubes--serve cold.

Repeat, as desired.
