1\/2 cup light honey
\n1\/2 cup water
\n3\/4-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
\n1 large strip of lemon peel, no pith
\n1 1\/2 cups thinly sliced cucumber
\n1\/2 cup brandy
\n1 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed and discarded
\n1 750-millileter bottle Prosecco, chilled<\/p>\n
Combine the honey, water, ginger, and lemon peel in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to a low simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, cool, and then strain.<\/p>\n
In a pitcher, combine the cucumber, ginger, syrup, and brandy. Add the lemon slices and stir. If you have time, let this sangria base chill in the refrigerator overnight.<\/p>\n
When ready to serve, top the pitcher off with the chilled Prosecco. Serve immediately over ice, being sure to scoop some cucumber and lemon slices into each glass. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
