Drink names can be great. I don’t know if it’s part of what makes folks try something for the first time, but it definitely helps in remembering what you might’ve enjoyed during a good bender.

As for me, I like Lynchburg Lemonade. Not much of a name, but they go down so well on warm on autumn afternoon, waiting for a football game to begin. You can’t use just any old sweet and sour mix. If you’re not going to make your own, try Rose’s.

Do I have a not-too-sweet sangria recipe?! I found this recipe in the Picnic cookbook and it has become my standard offering for gatherings:

1 to 1.5 liters red wine (can’t answer the lowest quality question, but I do sometimes mix in a bottle I’m trying to get rid of when making a double recipe)
1 liter Tom Collins mix (or sour mix if Tom Collins not available)
2 cups Triple Sec
2 oz brandy
apples/oranges/fruit of choice sliced

For white wine sangria, I reduce the Tom Collins mix by about half and may reduce the other ingredients a bit.

Make it a day ahead for best results.

I am aware that there are no liquor stores within our city limits (VeRy AwArE) but WHY aren’t there any?

I’m sure I should know this….. but WHY can’t we buy hard liquor in the City of Decatur?
