Easy Red Sangria
Next time you're in a bind over what to serve at your impromptu grill-out, don't fret — just serve sangria. It's easy to make in advance, calls for ingredients you likely already have on hand, and accommodates anywhere from one to 100. Best of all, everyone — college kids, parents, men, and women alike — gravitate towards it (don't be surprised if your guests fly through those pitchers you made ahead of time).
