My wife and I both LOVE sangria but it’s a well known fact that we’re two of the cheapest people on the face of the planet.  We threw this recipe together last month while we were visiting my parents in Elko and it turned out so good I decided to share.  Don’t spend too much on the wine since it’s getting mixed with some other ingredients.  Sangria was originally used as a way to drink up the bad wine while getting the benefit of the alcohol (a philosophy I fully support btw) so anything you use will be more than suitable. We usually just get the cheapest Cabernet Sauvingon or Merlot (like 2-3 bucks a bottle) we can find at Walmart:

1 bottle (750mL) red wine - preferably Cabernet Sauvingon or Merlot
1 bottle (2L) store brand white grape and peach juice (Walmart and Smiths both have this for sure)
1 bottle (2L) lemon lime soda (store brand works or 7-Up, Sprite, etc.)

In a 2 quart pitcher pour in half of the bottle of wine and half of the bottle of juice. Top off with the soda and mix. Pour over ice in a tall glass.

Very simple but I challenge you to find a more refreshing drink during the dog days of summer (okay except maybe a gin and tonic)
