Sangría

My favorite...orange juice and red wine... chilled! Perfect for this kind of weather.

INGREDIENTS-

1 bottle red wine

1 1/2 cup orange juice

1 ounce gin

1 ounce cointreau or brandy

1 can lime soda (7up or Sprite)

5 teaspoons sugar

2 large red apples, diced

1 orange cut up in stone chips (peel included)

1 lemon cut up in stone chips (peel included, and no, for those of you who speak Spanglish better than anything else a lemon is NOT a limón, it is a LEMON, LIMA in Spanish, bigger and yellow-er)

DIRECTIONS

Mix all the ingredients with a large ladle, then add the apple, orange and lemon. After, refrigerate for 1 1/2 minimum so the flavors become one. You can serve it with ice cubes, but it's better if its just chilled.
