Champagne Sangria

I had two bottle of champagne that I wanted to use. I like champagne but not enough to drink that much by its self! I decided to try and make a sangria with it and it was deliciously refreshing and perfect for spring and summer.

Champagne Sangria

1/2 c water
1/2 sugar
3 sprigs of mint
2 lemons
2 limes
6 oz peach nectar, chilled
1 bottle champagne, chilled

In a small saucepan over high heat, combine water, sugar and mint leaves. Bring to a boil and stir frequently until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.

In a large pitcher, place lemon and lime slices and pour over cooled mint simple syrup. With a wooden spoon, gently crush fruit slices to release their juices. Pour in peach nectar and champagne. Stir well and serve!
