As I mentioned yesterday it’s really, really hot in Las Vegas right now. Since light beer just doen’t seem to cool me down like it used to, I recently switched back to an old favorite: Franzia boxed wine. My favorite is the “Chillable Red“… especially when it’s very chilled.
One night a few weeks ago I decided to try mixing my favorite box wine with the only other thing I had in my fridge: Fresca. In case you don’t know (and a surprisingly large percentage of people don’t) Fresca is a delicious, sugar-free “grapefruit”-flavored soda. It’s the only soda in the world that I actually drink on a semi-regular basis…
Anyway, I mixed them together in about a 50/50 ratio and stumbled upon my new favorite drink. I call it “Las Vegas Ghetto Sangria“. Here’s the exact recipe:
- 12 ounces ice-cold “Chillable Red” Franzia
- 12 ounces ice-cold Fresca
- Juice of 1 fresh lime
Mix all ingredients together… preferably in a large Mason jar. Why a Mason jar? Because that’s just how we do…
i love franzia and needed a cheap easy sangria recipe for my party and im gonna try this one out!! thanks for posting!
