Are you planning a summer party for a grown up crowd?
If you are looking for a nice beverage choice, you may want to consider this red wine sangria recipe. It has become a favorite of my friends and family, and I am often asked to bring it to barbecues and parties.

First assemble all of the ingredients:
- 1/4 cup of lemon juice

First assemble all of the ingredients:
In a large pitcher, combine lemon juice, lemonade concentrate, orange juice, wine, triple sec, brandy, and fruit.

Just before serving, add the soda or seltzer. This is a strong recipe, so don't be shy about adding the whole liter. (or more)
The finished product looks very nice, doesn't it?
Pour into glasses and garnish with fresh fruit.
Gather your friends, and enjoy!
