My husband and I belong to a dinner group called
“Dinner for 8”.
It is a great club started in our church that pairs 4 couples,
usually that don’t really know each other.
Every few months the 4 couples get together for fun and fellowship at one of the member’s homes.
It is great fun.
It was our time to host and we decided to have a pizza party with
red and white sangria.
I thought that it would be a lot of fun to have both red and white.
It’s such a great cocktail for hot weather.
The fruit and cold wine are so refreshing and pairs well with most food.
Red Wine Sangria
(adapted from 101 Sangrias & Pitcher Drinks)
3 bottles of red wine (I used Chianti and a Spanish wine)
1 cup Grand Marnier
1 1/2 cups orange juice
1 cup brandy
1/2 cup simple syrup
3 oranges, sliced
2 cups blackberries
3 apples, sliced
Combine all of the ingredients in a pitcher and stir well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Serve cold over ice.
Enjoy!
Now you're talkin' my language. YUM!
