Prep time: 5 minutes — Chill time: 24 hours
Ingredients:
1 bottle red wine (Cabernet Savignon, Merlot, Rioja, Zinfandel, Shiraz)
1 lemon cut into wedges
1 orange cut into wedges
1 lime cut into wedges
2 Tbsp sugar
Splash of orange juice or lemonade
2 shots gin or triple sec (optional)
1 cup raspberries or strawberries (fresh, thawed or frozen)
1 small can diced pineapple (with juice)
4 cups ginger ale
 
Directions:
Pour wine into a large pitcher and squeeze the juice from the lemon, orange and lime wedges into the wine. Toss in the fruit wedges, leaving out seeds if possible. Add pineapple, sugar, orange juice, and gin or triple sec. Chill overnight.

Add ginger ale, berries, and ice just before serving. To serve immediately, use chilled red wine and pour over lots of ice. For the best flavor, refrigerate Sangria for 24 hours before serving.

Mardi Gras Punch (preferably spiked!)
This festive punch combines the traditional Mardi Gras colors of green, representing faith, gold symbolizing power, and purple denoting justice. It’s equally delicious with or without the alcohol, just add more grape juice. Laissez les bon temps roulez!
 
Ingredients:
1 ice ring (Note: Freeze one or more ice rings out of pineapple and/or grape juice — instead of water — to keep the punch from getting diluted as it melts.)
1 40 oz. bottle grape juice (more if you make an ice ring.)
1 48 oz. can pineapple juice (more if you make an ice ring.)
A 2-liter bottle of ginger ale
2 oranges
2 limes
1 fifth of vodka (optional)
 
Directions:
Make ice rings in advance of the event.
Slice oranges and limes in thin rounds. Set aside. Place ice ring in bottom of punch bowl. Add juices, ginger ale, and (if desired) vodka. Float orange and lime slices on top and serve.
