Sue’s Tequila Wine Punch

Sue’s Tequila Wine Punch

I would never have thought that combining tequila and wine would taste so good, but it really is a great drink for summer parties. I had a request for this recipe and I am going to share it with you the best that I can. I normally am pretty good about measuring ingredients and writing things down, but a friend actually brought this to the party last night. My friend Sue, is actually a very good cook. She has great instincts when it comes to flavors. She is also lovingly known as the Queen of Substitutions. She will start with a recipe and then just add what she has on hand. Often things work out, sometimes, not. This is one of those times when things worked out very well, indeed. She was watching TV and saw a recipe for a tequila and wine punch.  She had the tequila and wine, but not quite all of the other ingredients, so she kind of made it up as she went along. The end result was a drink that was not too sweet and very refreshing.
