how i ended up hung over for most of today (or i guess it's yesterday now)



i made up this recipe. be afraid.

EXTREME LYCHEE SANGRIA
1 20 oz can of lychee
1 large pureed white peach (remove skin beforehand)
1 small pureed mango
2 pink grapefruit, pith, outer and inner skins removed until only the juicy bits remain - bite sized pieces
2 mangoes, in bite sized pieces
1 magnum of white wine - i used pinot grigio
3 airplane-size bottles of brandy (3 shots)
3 airplane-size bottles of triple sec (3 shots)
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 bottle club soda
simple syrup to taste. (this means water and sugar boiled together)

puree the white peach and mango in a food processor. strain through a sieve into a pitcher. throw in entire mangum of wine. mix. dump in the entire can of lychees, juice included. dump in the grapefruit and mango pieces. dump in the liquor. squeeze the juice of an entire lemon into the mix.

taste. if not sweet enough, add simple syrup.

(note: if you want to add more liquor and you want to mask the taste of the liquor, simply add more lemon juice and simple syrup the more liquor you add.)

stick it in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. pour in club soda when you're about to serve.
