Summer Sangria.

It is hot my friends. For this I am glad.

When temps start to soar, best to make a cold drink and relax.

Mix one part brandy with one part orange liquer (Or orange juice. Or both, like I do). Sugar, fruit, a few cinnamon sticks (important!) and a bottle or two (or three) of red wine.

Stir. Chill. And drink with friends.
