Because I've been craving it, and haven't been getting it: Sangria.
Red or white? Use wine (usually red, sometimes white), fresh fruit, two tablespoons of sugar, and brandy, whiskey, or (more rarely) rum (one shot to the bottle of wine). Combine and chill over night. Before serving add some type of clear citric beverage (sprite, 7-up), gingerale, or club soda (2 cups).
If you want to serve it immediately, use lots of ice. This is a drink that needs to be cold. Now if only it would stop raining, I could make some.
Image from here where they have lots of different recipes for sangria.
