Cooling off the Summer!

Summer is here and the heat is blazing as always. You may not feel it as much in your car or office, but trust me, working in a commercial kitchen in the South during the summer you become acquainted with it... I don't generally post drink recipes much less "adult beverage" recipes, but this is a good one and an original. It's quite tasty and even if it doesn't cool you down, by the time it's gone you won't care how hot it is!

SANGRIAaaahhhhh!!!!

1 750 ml bottle red or white wine (no need for an expensive bottle; mid range is fine)
1 1/2 cup sweet and sour mix
3/4 cup brandy (no need for Napoleon's finest!)
3/4 cup triple sec

Mix well and let chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Serve over ice and garnish with fruit.

Lynda and I went through exhaustive research to figure out just the right proportions of each ingredient! It was a tremendous sacrifice but for you it's worth it! Our loss (of brain cells) is your gain... Enjoy and let us know what you think!
