When Life Gives You A Bad Bottle of Wine...

When life gives you a bad bottle of wine -- you make Sangria!! 

I googled it - but the most simple and delish is --

Apple slices (1/2 to a whole)
orange slices (1/2 an orange)
muddle with brown sugar (4 Tbsp)
1/3 cup of brandy then muddle some more
some orange juice - almost a cup, although I would use half a cup next time
muddle all that some more
then pour in the terrible wine

Mix well and try to get the sugar that's settled to the bottom of the pitcher to mix in.

Pour in a glass over ice, add some sparkling water on top if you feel like it (I added lime and it's delish) and drink up!

And if you're husband's been gone for all last week and all this week, and the new puppy got his balls snipped and his cherry eye fixed all the way in DENTON AN HOUR AWAY and he won't stop crying now that your home and you have to figure out how to finish house renovations in less then 2 months and it's impossible... pour yourself the rest of the pitcher and give the kids their iPads and spend the rest of the night alternatively panicking about said house and watching Tasty videos on Facebook.

CHEERS!

  1. Do you remember that sangria we made that one night that was basically just fruit and various types of booze?! That stuff was almost undrinkable (and yet somehow we managed to drink it...)
