Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Red wine (dry or semi-dry)
- 240 ml Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 120 ml Brandy
- 240 ml Sparkling water
- 1 whole Orange
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 whole Apple
- 150 grams Strawberries
- 1 whole Cinnamon stick
- 0.25 teaspoons Chili powder (optional, for a spicier kick)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
- 2 cups Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash all the fruit thoroughly under cold water and dry with a clean towel.
Slice the orange, lemon, and lime into thin rounds. Core the apple and cut it into small wedges. Remove the stems from the strawberries and slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In a large pitcher or punch bowl, pour in the red wine, orange juice, and brandy. Stir gently to combine.
Add the sliced orange, lemon, lime, apple, and strawberries to the pitcher. Stir to evenly distribute the fruit.
Drop in the cinnamon stick and, if desired, sprinkle in the chili powder for a subtle spicy kick. Stir again to combine.
Taste the mixture and, if needed, stir in sugar for additional sweetness.
Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, add sparkling water to the mixture for a refreshing fizz and stir gently to incorporate.
Fill serving glasses halfway with ice cubes, then pour the sangria over the ice, ensuring each glass gets a nice mix of fruit pieces.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
