Tomorrow we are taking the day off and joining our favorite bunch of crazies on a 3-4 day up-the-river-cruise. The lake is still full, which means we can get pretty far up to see some beautiful scenery. Our marina is at mile marker 14 and we’ll anchor at mile marker 47 tomorrow night. We’ll make our way back to the marina over the course of the next few days. It’s gonna be FUN!!
One of the staples of any overnight raft-up on the lake is sangria. I made a batch tonight to put in the cooler in the morning. I have found a recipe I really like:
Sangria (I usually double this recipe)
1 bottle red wine (I use a Spanish tempranillo)
1/4 c brandy
1/4 c sugar
1 apple, 1 orange, 1 lemon – sliced (try to remove the seeds)
several friends
Shake everything up together and chill
Right before serving add about 1 – 2 cups chilled club soda.
Oh, by the way, if you’re going to make this recipe, it is also mandatory that you sing the B-dock anthem while you’re sipping on a glass. Here’s a youtube link so you can start practicing!
