Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Red wine
- 120 ml Orange juice
- 60 ml Brandy
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 large Oranges
- 1 medium Lemons
- 1 large Green apples
- 2 medium Peaches
- 200 grams Strawberries
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick
- 240 ml Club soda (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry all the fresh fruits (orange, lemon, apple, peaches, and strawberries).
Slice the oranges and lemons into thin rounds, keeping the rind on. Ensure you remove any seeds.
Core the green apple and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Do the same for the peaches.
Hull the strawberries and cut them in halves or quarters (depending on their size).
In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, combine the red wine, orange juice, brandy, and honey. Stir well until the honey is completely dissolved.
Add all the prepared fruits (orange slices, lemon slices, apple cubes, peach cubes, and strawberry pieces) to the liquid mixture.
Drop in the cinnamon stick to infuse a subtle spice into the sangria.
Stir everything gently to ensure the fruits are well combined and coated in the liquid.
Cover the bowl or pitcher with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing the fruits to marinate and absorb the sangria flavors.
Before serving, remove the cinnamon stick. If desired, stir in club soda to add a fizzy touch to the mixture.
Spoon the marinated fruits into serving bowls or glasses, ensuring some of the flavored sangria liquid accompanies the fruits.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve chilled.
