I was tempted to turn the AC back on last night, so it seems we're having a bit of Indian summer at the beginning of fall this year. In the spirit of warmer, leisurely summer days, here is Heather's sangria recipe. I'm not a red wine drinker, but I had more than one glass of this yummy concoction the last time we got together - definitely a mom-focused recipe!
Sangria for 100
(This recipe can be halved or quartered and it takes well to substitutes too.)
2 gallons Zinfandel
1 cup brandy
1/2 cup Cointreau
2 quarts orange juice
2 cups lemon juice
1 cup superfine sugar
12 to 16 ice cubes
2 quarts chilled club soda
3 oranges, thinly sliced
3 lemons, thinly sliced
Thoroughly chill all ingredients. Pour the wine, brandy and Cointreau
into a large punch bowl. Stir orange and lemon juice with the sugar
until sugar has dissolved. Then add to bowl and stir to blend. Add ice
cubes and soda and garnish with fruit slices. Serve in 4-ounce punch
glasses or wineglasses.
