Friday Night Cocktail

TGIF! This Friday, gather a group of girlfriends and/or friends and relax with good food and drinks.

Our Friday drink recommendation - "Everyone's-A-Little-Bit-Psychic Sangria" (by the Purcell Sisters).

This drink keeps health and calories in mind. Red wine contains antioxidants that may help prevent heart disease. Don’t forget to eat the fruit garnish for an extra dose of vitamin C. Calories per serving: 123.

Makes 1 pitcher (20 drinks)

Ingredients: 1 (1.5-liter) bottle red wine, 1 cup rum, ½ can frozen limeade or pink lemonade concentrate, 1½ cups orange juice, 1 cup lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite) or Collins mixer, Ice for glasses, 3 oranges, sliced into wedges for garnish, 5 limes, sliced into wedges for garnish

Directions: Combine first 4 ingredients and refrigerate overnight. Add lemon-lime soda no more than an hour before serving. To serve, pour sangria into ice-filled glasses, and garnish each with orange and lime slices.

Enjoy and happy Friday!
