Ponche de los Pingüinos

¡Me encanta la sangría!

Traditional sangría relies on lucious wines and fruit juices, and is often accompanied by brandy for a little flavor and a little kick.  This non-traditional take offers subtle changes for a sweet and smokey effect.  This brew was invented to celebrate Penguicon 2012, and will be tasted with hundreds at the event.

Recipe (large batch):

1.5 Gallon (5.625 L) Rose Wine (any brand you like)
0.4 Gallon (1.5 L )Manischewitz Grape Wine
1/5 Gallon (750 mL) Bacardi Oakhart Spiced Rum
1/2 Gallon (1.89 L) Orange Juice (no pulp)
4 Oranges
4 Lemons

Blend all liquid ingredients together in a large punch bowl.  Slice fruit in rounds and add to the punch.  Allow several hours to set.  Please note, fruit should be removed if leftovers are kept overnight, as the peel will strongly bitter the flavor if kept more than one day.  Serve with a slice of orange or lemon on the rocks.

Recipe (glass):

2 parts Rose Wine
1 part Manischewitz Grape Wine
1 part Orange Juice (no pulp)
1/2 part Bacardi Oakhart Spiced Rum
Top with orange or lemon slice and serve on the rocks
