Recipe by Justin Chapple Justin Chapple, Food & Wine's resident Mad Genius, uses a Bundt pan to make an ice ring for his refreshing gin-and-Vinho Verde sangria. It's a total crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

  • 3 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 8 mint sprigs
  • 2 limes, thinly sliced
  • Distilled water
  • Two 750-ml bottles Vinho Verde
  • Two 12-ounce bottles ginger beer
  • 6 ounces gin
  • 1 1/2 ounces fresh lime juice
  • Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Layer the cucumbers, mint sprigs and limes in a Bundt pan. Gradually add just enough distilled water to cover. Freeze until solid, 8 hours or overnight.
  2. In a large punch bowl, stir the wine with the ginger beer, gin and lime juice. Refrigerate until chilled, about 45 minutes.
  3. Fill a large bowl with very hot water. Dip the bottom of the Bundt pan in the water to loosen the ice ring and invert it onto a plate. Add the ice ring to the sangria. Serve in wineglasses, with or without ice.
