Sangria Pops

With a few minor alterations to the ingredient list, this Sangria makes a nice icy treat for summer.  Next time, I’ll throw a few strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries into the molds before adding the liquid.  Or, maybe I’ll supreme sections of orange and add them to the mix.

Sangria Pops
makes 8-10

4 cups black raspberry juice
1 cup of your favorite red wine
1 cup orange juice
juice of one lemon
2 shots Grand Marnier
2 shots brandy

strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries (optional)

In a pitcher, combine all ingredients.  Pour into popsicle forms.  Place in freezer for at least 4 hours before removing pops from their forms.

For a kid friendly version:

Omit the wine, Grand Marnier and brandy.  They’re quite good this way, too.

Unless you’re impeccably neat, you might want to consider eating these outside.
