Well you could mix it with a mixture of Portugese reds, and get a rudimentry Port. Or you could use it as a base for various wine punches such as Sangria and Glogg.

thanks inn, but can i use a juice like cranberry or orange juice? or is this not a good idea???
thanks for your reply..

That would be what I called in my youth a German 88. If you replace the brandy with Champagne it becomes a French 75.

inn, what does all that mean? maybe i am just a bit inexperienced on those names..in any case, is it ok to use cranberry and (or) orange juice mixed in with brandy, and will it take away from the joy of brandy?

Guess you don't have any books on drinks. Go ahead with either juice; and just go easy on the brandy.
