How to make sangria...

Sangria is the perfect, classy, yet wallet friendly choice for your wine loving friends. Go buy a box… yup, a box… of red wine to keep on hand. Drop whatever fruits you have in your fridge into the bottom of the pitcher. Slices of peaches, apples, oranges, or any berries work beautifully. Go for about a cup of fruit for one carafe of wine. Add a splash of brandy if you have it and ½ cup or so of orange juice. Lemonade works if you don’t have orange juice. For extra sweetness, just pop open a can of lemon-lime soda and add that, too. It’s sorta like leftover night, but so much more elegant! Gets the fridge cleaned out.

This lasts a few days in the fridge and gets better each day. Perfectly easy elegant entertaining!
