Sangria is a great drink to make because it's easy to customize the flavors and tailor the drink to your tastes. White wine sangria is a little bit lighter in flavor than traditional red wine sangria and it tastes great with citrus fruits like mango. In a bowl combine one cup of white wine with chopped green grapes, plums, nectarines, mango and pineapple. Let the mixture sit in the fridge. Add peach juice, white grape juice and sugar in a pot and boil till it turns into a syrup. Add lemon juice and mix the syrup in with the wine and fruit. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and add popsicle sticks. Once they're frozen get outside and enjoy!
