I’m surprised that Sangría was so quickly dismissed. It’s quick to make and very refreshing. Here’s the recipe I use. I have no idea where I got it.
1 bottle American Cabernet Sauvignon
¼ c Cointreau
¼ c sugar
1 c orange juice (from 3 oranges, more or less; I prefer Valencias from Florida, when you can find them)
Mix everything well till the sugar has dissolved.
I add bit of “fruit salad” as well, a lemon, an orange, and a crispy apple sliced thin and cut into quarters. If you skip this, you might want to squeeze in some lemon juice and little extra orange juice.
Before serving, stir in 1 c club soda.
