Summertime Sangria


After sipping or should I say gulping sangria at the old Spazzo's in Bellevue a few years back (since closed) I was dying to get a good Sangria recipe, with the help of some friends and some buttering up of old bartenders we were able to get pieces of the recipe and create a similar tasting one....

Makes 1 1/4 Gallons (Easy to double)

1.5 liters of Chianti Wine (1 Big Bottle or 2 Bottles of 750ml)
1/4 bottle of Dubonnet
3 oz Brandy
3 oz Peach Schnapps
6 oz Triple Sec
32 oz Orange Juice (1 Quart)
6 oz Pineapple Juice
Lime Slices
Orange Slices

Mix all ingredients in a large pitcher. Serve over ice with Lime and Orange slices. Enjoy!

...more refreshing than a dip in the pool on a hot day!

Summertime Sangria on a hot July/August afternoon is like gatorade after a 5k.

The Breezy Cook should really rename these "keep 'em comings!"
