What is a good Red Sangria drink recipe for a dinner party of eight adults.?

my favorite party drink!!





one bottle of red wine (I like to use a red zin or a meritage, like wild bunch)


one lemon (sliced into wheels)


one lime (sliced into wheels)


one small can mandarin oranges


one small can pineapple rings


one large gala apple


one pint blackberries


about ten large strawberries


15 ounces apple juice


15 ounces cranberry juice


2 shots remy red (optional)





slice all your fruit, place into a large plastic container (I like to use a tupperware container instead of a pitcher at first so I can turn it over a few times while it's marinating). pour in your canned fruit (including juice), and liquid ingredients. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 24 hours, turning over two or three times (because the strawberries, blackberries, and oranges will sink). serve over ice with a splash of gingerale (or lemonade) on top.





this is absolutely delicious - great for summer! a little more tropical than traditional sangria. this will make a batch for about ten good sized glasses, but it's easy to double.
