Poor Man's Sangria

Sangria is delicious.  Not only that, it's a PERFECT summer beverage for picnics, BBQs, celebrations, or just sitting on your front porch watching the world go by. 

The thing is, it can be expensive and time consuming.  A typical recipe calls for red wine + brandy, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, fresh orange juice, sugar,  orange/apple/lemon wedges/slices, and sparkling water.  WHHHHAAAAATTT??!?!  It's like the tiramasu of beverages!!!

But wait!!!!!!!!!! There IS a cheap and easy way to create this stuff, and the best part?  NO ONE CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE!

Ready?

Red table wine (Carlo Rossi comes in giant jugs and is PERFECT for this--- way affordable and sweet)
Orange Fanta

Mix it half and half.  Add some fruit for effect if you want.... boom.  done!

We drank this at our Memorial Day BBQ the other day, and everyone seemed to love it!  Enjoy! :)
