Happy Cinco de Mayo PPs!
What’s better than drinking outside on a warm lunch break? In an effort to drink on the cheap we’re starting a specialty cocktail of the week feature. Try out the recipe, send us your saucy (or sauced) stories and we’ll post the best of them. Let’s drink to the Spring…or Tuesday afternoon!
Cinco De Mayo Sangria
2 oranges (sliced with peel)
2 apples (sliced)
1 whole cubed pineapple
1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
zest of one whole lime or lemon
1/2 cup lemon or lime juice
1 gallon of Lambrusco Italian Wine (approx 2 bottles, or you can buy it in a classy jug)
1/2 cup cognac
1 cup sugar
Combine the ingredients above and add 1 bottle of soda water right before serving.
Serve over ice and enjoy!
The longer the fruit soaks the better, so try to make the night ahead, and add any of your favorite fruit
Gift Idea: Party starter in a jar! Make your very own “Sangria Starter Kit”. Cut your favorite fruits and place them in a mason jar, fill the jar with Lambrusco, seal the lid, and refrigerate. Tie the jar with a beautiful bow and attach the Cinco de Mayo Sangria recipe and gift it to all the PPs in your life. They’ll be some extra tasty marinated fruit in the next batch.
