Two Second Sangria

Have you ever been in a mood for a quick glass of sangria… when all you've got is just regular red wine? Or are you the kind of person who doesn't especially like red wine--especially dry reds--but that's all there is available?

Well readers, you're in luck: I have a brilliant solution for you, thanks to my very clever cousin Karen:

Go ahead and pour that red wine. And then top it off with a generous splash of orange juice.

That expression of disbelief you have on your face right now? It's exactly the face I made at my cousin when she first told me about the idea. It just seemed wrong, somehow, to add orange juice to red wine.

Then I tried it.

And it literally tastes like sangria, with just the right mix of sweetness, citrus flavor and dryness. I couldn't believe it.

Two seconds. That's all you need. Splash some OJ into that glass of red!

Two Second Sangria

1) Fill a glass 2/3 full with any red wine (white wine works too by the way).
2) Top off with orange juice.
3) Wipe that expression of disbelief off your face and enjoy!
