Red Wine Sangria... Woof.


Proceed with Caution.  Hangovers will, for sure, ensue.


My friends are hilarious.  Also very politically conscious.  We look forward to the State of the Union every year.  So this year, Whitney made a 5 course, progressive SOTU satire dinner.  It was amazing.  She truly outdoes herself every. time.  Emma was in charge of the drinking game and I was in charge of the drink.  We already had 2 bottles of red wine and a bottle of vodka so I researched and came up with this recipe.  It is served chilled but its dry AND fruity enough for the winter and to drink a lot of (which is what we were looking for)

So here it is!!



Ingredients:
1 1/2 750 ml bottles dry Red Wine (I used Cab Sav)
1 carton of Orange Juice
1/2 cup of Brandy
1 cup Triple Sec
1 small bottle of Vodka
1/4 cup of Sweetened Lime Juice
1 bottle of Club Soda or Ginger Ale
2 apples, cored and sliced
2 oranges, sliced
1 lime, sliced

Pour all together in a pitcher or punch bowl, except club soda/ginger ale, and let chill together in the fridge for one hour.

Pour the club soda/ginger ale in when ready to serve to give an extra kick!

(side bar:  if you're looking for a SOTU drinking game, try waterfalls during the applause.  From start until they finish. every time. thank you and goodnight)
