Light Sangria
From: Lisa Cain @ snack-girl.com/
This drink is wonderful for a crowd but can also sit in your fridge for about 3 days (without the club soda added) to marinate. Like human aging, it only gets better with time (but then the fruit starts to break down and can rot).
I like to make a pitcher and drink a glass as a refreshing start to an evening of grilling (and attempting not to yell at children as they hit soccer balls into your patio table).
This is a light, fruity (literally) drink. It is also for those who are frugally minded as you double the amount of wine you use by adding the club soda.
Makes 10 (6-ounce) Servings
Ingredients:
1 large orange
1 (750-ml) bottle red wine
¼ cup orange flavored liqueur (such as triple sec or Grand Marnier)
¼ cup sugar
½ lime, juiced
1 medium apple, cored and cut into thin wedges
1 (750-ml) bottle of club soda or 2 cans (12 ounces)
Instructions:
Slice the orange in half and juice one half of it.
Slice the other half into very thin slices.
Mix the wine, orange flavored liqueur, sugar, lime juice, and orange juice in a pitcher.
Add orange slices, and apple slices and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
When ready to serve add club soda and stir.
Enjoy immediately.
