The Cookbook

Back in my College days, about 5 years ago, we took a 4 ltr of any cheap red...the cheaper the better. 4 bttls of 7-up. Then lots of citrus sliced: oranges, lemons, grape fruit, limes and anything else. (Brandy was too precious and expensive.) Throw it all in a "clean" trash can. Let sit for several hours then add two bags of ice and voila!
