Sangria

By mhyde

Great for summer gatherings. Makes 5 gallons. Left over can be bottled.

Ingredients

• 7 bottles red wine
• (I used Casa Tempranillo from Spain)
• 6 lemons
• 6 oranges
• 6 limes
• 2 cans pineapple diced with juice
• 1 frozen strawberry daquari concentrate
• 2 jars maraschino cherries (important ingredient that makes a difference)
• 1/2 cup triple sec for each bottle of wine
• 1/4 cup cherry brandy per bottle of wine
• 2 cups orange juice
• 1/4 cup sugar for each bottle of wine (optional) I used less
• 1 2 liter bottle of Ginger Ale

Preparation

Step 1

Use a five gallon insulated drink cooler.
Cut all fruit into wedges, squeeze and place fruit and juice into
container. (If available use juicer for 3/4 of the fruit).
Add all other ingredients except Ginger Ale and let it sit in the fridge
overnight.
Just before serving add Ginger Ale to container and stir.
I put a zip lock bag full of ice inside to keep it cold without dilluting.
