Add one bottle good South Africa Pinot Noir (or a Spanish red if you\u2019re going for authenticity), a third to half a cup of brandy or orange liqueur like Cointreau or Grand Marnier and half a cup orange juice. Chill well. Serve over ice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One for the kids ..<\/strong>. Make the Under 18s their own Summer cocktail.
