Southern Comforting Sangria

Southern Comforting Sangria
This is a southern twist to a real good Sangria recipe that I have encountered during my extensive travels abroad - meaning that there's lots of counties that surround Johnson County so I get to travel quite a bit. ;-)

Fresh slices of:

  • Lime

  • Orange

  • Apple
Add:

  • Pineapple

  • Grapes (red or white)

  • 1 bottle of red wine (the cheaper the better)

  • 1/2 gallon Orange Juice

  • 1 ounce Triple Sec

  • 1 ounce Southern Comfort (or if you desire - rum or brandy) - add more if you want a hard Sangria

Mix wine and OJ in a large container. Add Triple Sec and Southern Comfort. Mix in fruit. Refrigerate for 24 hours. Serve over ice with Mint leaves and a slice of Orange. Enjoy Y'all!
