It's girls night tonight! Help me pick my poison!
so, a bunch of us girls are getting together tonight, and I'm having a hard time figuring out what I'm gonna drink. We're staying at another girl's house so we don't have to drive home.


suggestions?

2. Sangria!
There are lots of recipes, but this one is easy:

2 large juice oranges, washed; one orange sliced; remaining orange juiced
1 large lemon, washed and sliced
¼ cup granulated sugar (I like to use superfine sugar)
¼ cup Triple Sec
One 750 ml. bottle inexpensive, fruity, medium-bodied red wine, chilled

1. Add sliced orange and lemon and sugar to large pitcher; mash gently with wooden spoon until fruit releases some juice, but is not totally crushed, and sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Stir in orange juice, Triple Sec, and wine; refrigerate for at least 2, and up to 8, hours.

2. Before serving, add 6 to 8 ice cubes and stir briskly to distribute settled fruit and pulp; serve immediately.

Servings: 4

5. Champagne or Cosmopolitans
The former because it is always so festive.
The latter in honor of Sex and the City -- a show about four women friends.
