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.

 
 
I have served large pitchers of Long Island ice tea, and or pitchers of Margaritas. Both have gone over very well and both can be prepped ahead of time and kept in fridge till needed. Both have a good kick to them. lol

More summery, but...

I make Mai Tais in bulk by mixing the booze base in one pitcher (Rubbermaid 2qt juice bottle) and pineapple juice in another. "Coco-Locos" are done the same way (Pina Colada mix, rums and pineapple).
