Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Red wine (preferably dry)
- 240 ml Orange juice (freshly squeezed or store-bought)
- 60 ml Brandy
- 240 ml Soda water (or lemon-lime soda for sweeter version)
- 1 whole Orange
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 whole Apple
- 150 g Strawberries (optional)
- 2 tbsp Granulated sugar or honey (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 handful Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash all fruits thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax coating.
Slice the orange, lemon, and lime into thin rounds. Core and dice the apple into small cubes. Hull and slice the strawberries if using.
In a large pitcher, add the sliced orange, lemon, lime, apple cubes, and strawberries.
Pour the red wine, orange juice, and brandy over the fruits in the pitcher.
If desired, stir in granulated sugar or honey to sweeten the sangria. Mix well until dissolved.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. For the best flavor, let it sit overnight.
Just before serving, stir in soda water (or lemon-lime soda for a sweeter version) for added fizz.
Serve the sangria in glasses over ice cubes, making sure to include some of the delicious marinated fruit in each serving.
