Jenn's Sinful Sangria

As promised here is the recipe for Jenn, The Cocktail Alchemist's, Sangria recipe. This is a great one for an afternoon bbq that carries on into the night.

2 bottles of shiraz or merlot ( port can be substituted
instead of wine if you want it to be sweeter and have a
higher alcohol content)

Juice a couple of Lemons, limes and oranges
and slice up some. Apples, peaches and plums
can also be used.

Jenn then throws in whatever juice is within reach (which she gets from Trader Joe's).
This particular past batch had orange juice, lemonade and mango nectar.

Add cinnamon sticks, whole cloves and a pinch of
chili powder. If it isn't sweet enough, add some
sugar.

For a kick add vodka and amaretto.
Tequila and triple sec is another alternative.

Dump all the ingredients together at least overnight,
but Jenn likes it to sit for a day or two.

When serving, add sparkling water. If it still needs to be
sweeter use 7up instead of water.

Add more wine and juice to the mix as needed.

As you can see there is room to play, so have fun and use your imagination. Now as with all alcohol beverages, drink responsibly.


Cheers to You!
