Sangria
Sangria is a Spanish alcoholic punch. Its name comes from its blood red color, "sangre" means blood in Spanish. It's made from red wine, soda or mineral water, sugar, and sliced fruit. It sometimes contains brandy, cognac, or other liqueurs. You serve it in a large pitcher with ice. Sliced fruit (usually citrus) is placed in individual glasses and topped off with the punch. There is also a white wine version called Sangria Blanco that is made and served the same way.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
