Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook. Summer is still here and you're looking for a cool refreshing drink to cool you down, then this is the beverage for you. This beverage is the first beverage recipe in the cookbook and if you ever saw the photo of the Cran-gria, you would want to make this drink too. A sangria is a classic Spanish drink and this drink offers a refreshing and fruity twist. You can serve this Cran-gria from a clear pitcher or punch bowl and use wineglasses to show off the fruit.
