Sangria


A friend was having people over and this seemed to be the perfect summer time drink. I did some research and found you can tweak your recipe to your liking. It may not be traditional, but it will be good. My neighbor introduced me to a brand of inexpensive red wine that I love, Opici Homemade Barberone Red. You don't want to use wine you wouldn't want to drink straight, so don't just go for cheap.




INGREDIENTS
5 cups red wine
16 oz of Sprite
1/4 cup cointreua
1/4 cup rum
all of the following sliced thin: 1 orange, 1 apple, and 2 peaches

Mix everything together except for the Sprite and let it sit at least over night. When you are ready to serve add the Sprite and pour over ice. This is quite a strong drink and you will benefit from sipping it, rather than gulping.
