Smashley asked:
I’m going to a 4th of July party and I’m looking for a “Summer drink” recipe- preferably something easy to transport. I was thinking Sangria, but is it possible to set that up at someone else’s house easily, without ice, fruit, etc? Or is there a simple recipe I could make in a gallon-serve pitcher and just set it out for all the guests?

Also, I should add that the guests are mostly older adults, so the usual “trash can punch” we make for our friends probably wouldn’t fly!

Large batch of margaritas would be good, just multiply the ingredients for one by 10 and make.

the fruit in sangria should have ample time to marinate you can make ahead of time then you can put ice cubes in zip lock bags the day of the party and change them out once they melt so the sangria does not get watered down.

“White Sangria” is always a big hit..
Into a large pitcher, add 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup Triple Sec, two bottles of cheap white wine. Stir well. Add one sliced orange, one sliced lemon, one sliced lime, and ice..
A twelve pack of beer otta work too..

I would highly suggest Sangria. Hey, you can’t please everyone, and I’m sure you aren’t supplying the only drink. It’s so easy to make. Pop it all in a small cooler. The fruit you can keep chilled in a ziploc or tupperware and bring with you all cut up. I wouldn’t hesitate to grab a space on your host’s counter, pour the chilled wine in the pitcher, add the fruit, stir and let it sit for a bit. If you have a large enough pitcher, prepare some ahead all ready to serve and fix the rest ready to be served. Oh and I’ve frozen some of the fruit as I’d never put ice in Sangria. Hope this helps

One gallon for ten people? I would **** to be invited to your parties. You need at least 2 and a half gallons. If not more. It’s not just dinner, it’s a party.
