i get real excited when it comes to cookouts and bar-bee-que, because not only does that mean good food, but good booze! i had been severely craving a good glass of sangria, so rather than overpaying for a smaller bottle of the good stuff at the store, i made my own!
just a fair warning: this recipe is dangerous. or at least it was for me after a few rounds of cranium...
libation necessities {yields: good times}:
1 bottle of sweet red table wine {or your wine of choice}
sprite zero
triple sec
cherry vodka {or flavor of your choice}
grenadine
assorted fruits
i used everyone's favorite friend a plastic red cup to make my drink. i filled the cup 3/4 of the way with ice, then 3/4 of the way with the wine. i added about a 1/2 a shot of triple sec, a splash{ish} of cherry vodka and a splash of grenadine before filling the cup almost the rest of the way with sprite zero. i squeezed some yummy fruit into the mixture, added a straw and sipped away! i think this recipe would also be good with raspberry, strawberry or pomegranate vodka as well...
needless to say, it was a great night with great friends! we are hosting the next game night, and i've already started planning like crazy! more to come on that front...
