And now on to our Thirsty Thursday segment! Since its almost Happy Hour...how about a RED SANGRIA?! Here is a fantastic, refreshing recipe: Prep Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 15 minutes Yield: About 8-12 servings INGREDIENTS: 2 (750 mL) bottles dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot 1 cup brandy 1/3 cup sugar 1/4 cup orange liqueur 1 pound strawberries, hulled and halved 3 oranges, thinly sliced 3 limes, thinly sliced 2 lemons, thinly sliced 4 cups fresh arugula (optional) 1 can lemon-lime soda DIRECTIONS: Stir together wine, brandy, sugar and orange liqueur in large pitcher, until sugar is dissolved. Stir in the arugula, and use a wooden spoon to mull (crush) the arugula so that the flavor is released. Add strawberries, lime, lemon and orange to the wine mixture, and lightly mull the fruit to release juices. Cover and refrigerate for anywhere from 2-24 hours. Stir in soda if desired, then strain and serve over ice.
