Frozen Sangria


I've been looking for a good Sangria recipe for the upcoming Mexican Fiesta Dinner Party I'm hosting in a few weeks, and I think I'm going to give this one a try!  This makes about 24 servings without breaking the bank. Total cost is about $13.  Now all I need to do is hunt down one of those pretty glass drink dispensers!

Frozen Sangria from Let's Entertain

Prep: 10 min., Freeze: 24 hr.
Makes about 1 1/2 gal.

Ingredients

1 gal. sangría

1 (12-oz.) can frozen limeade, thawed

1 (2-liter) bottle lemon-lime soft drink

2 cups sliced oranges, lemons, and limes

1. Place 1 (2-gal.) zip-top plastic freezer bag inside another 2-gal. zip-top plastic freezer bag. Place bags in a large bowl. Combine sangría, limeade, and lemon-lime soft drink in the inside bag. Seal both bags, and freeze 24 hours. (Double bagging is a precaution to avoid spills.)

2. Remove mixture from freezer 1 hour before serving, squeezing occasionally until slushy. Transfer mixture to a 2-gal. container. Stir in fruit.

Kid-Friendly Frozen Sangría: Substitute cranberry juice for sangría. Proceed with recipe as directed.
