Weeknight Sangria

This Sangria might not change your life. Unless your life is particularly boring. But in case you forgot, or didn't know, I have three kids. Little ones. So I don't know if I need to explain further the reasons I need to drink on weeknights (albeit lightly) and the reasons I don't have time to fuss over, well, anything.



Weeknight Sangria
Serves 1

At 5pm fill a 12 ounce Ball jar with ice. Add equal parts OJ, seltzer and red wine (white works too).

Take a few pictures of it then sip slowly until the kids are in bed.

My Weeknight Sangria is good on weekends too when I find myself with an extra moment and an extra set of hands to help chop fruit or help hold a baby.

So if it's a weekend get out a pitcher (please make sure you have some people to share this with). Add 1 bottle of red wine, about 1 cup OJ and 1 cup seltzer (play around until it tastes right to you).

Find some fruit to chop (strawberries, peaches, green apple). Go crazy and slice some citrus and toss it in too. If you feel like getting drunk add a splash of brandy or triple sec. Serve over lots of ice and garnish each glass with a generous wedge of lime.
