If you have a few friends coming over for an afternoon bbq on a hot day, I find one of the best ways to quench their thirsts is to make Sangria. Not only is Sangria easy to make but it is also easy on the budget. I made a batch of this over the July 4th weekend and it was a winner.
Ingredients (Works for about 8 people)
- 1 of those glass jugs of red wine (You know the big cheap ones that I am talking about)
- 4-6 limes
- 3-4 Oranges
- 1/4 cup simple syrup
- Few splashes of white rum
- Soda water
Start by slicing up your oranges and placing them (skins and all) in a big pitcher or punch bowl. I used the bottom half of one of those salad spinners. Don't mash up the oranges or they wont look good later. Next, slice up half of your limes into pie wedges and add them to bowl. Take the remaining limes and juice them into the bowl. Add the simple syrup, the rum and the wine and stir. Now let the sangria rest for about an hour in the fridge.
Serve the sangria over ice with a splash of soda water!

I'll have to make this for the wife, she loves sangria. A little too much....on second thought;)
You can always add a bit more soda water to thin it out a bit.
I found your food blog going through a few links. Glad I ran into it. Didn’t know that the food blog community was so big. I love your posts!
I was wondering if you would like to exchange links. I’ll drop yours on my site and you drop mine on yours. Email at ramendays@yahoo.com or stop by my site and drop a comment. Let me know if you would like to do a link exchange.
