Sangria Liqueur
Mecandes stumbled upon a gem when he went looking for something to cool us off in this heat. He makes Cabernet Sauvignon wine from a kit every few months and was hoping to find a mixed drink we could make with it for this incredible summer. Here’s what he found…
2 bottles red wine
1 cup sugar
2 cans Fresca® grapefruit soda
sliced apples, oranges, limes and lemons
We substituted Mountain Dew for the Fresca and just sliced up one whole orange as that’s the only fruit we had. It all went into a pitcher and chilled in the fridge. Both of us thought that adding sugar to the already sweet Mountain Dew was over the top. We’ve had to water down each glass we pour with water and are planning to leave it out in the next batch. We think too that lots of different carbonated beverages would go well… any kind of lemon-lime soda or ginger ale. Now if you used club soda, you might need that added sugar.
Ha, have I confused you enough?! I think this is one recipe that you’ll have fun playing with and it’ll always come out nicely. Make it as simple or exotic as ya like. The oranges were so cute though, floating around the top of the pitcher. Mecandes gets an A+ for this one. The man does have good ideas!
