Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Red wine (preferably Spanish Tempranillo or Garnacha)
- 240 ml Fresh orange juice
- 60 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 120 ml Brandy
- 60 ml Triple sec or Cointreau
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 240 ml Soda water or sparkling water
- 1 Orange
- 1 Lemon

- 100 g Strawberries
- 1 Cinnamon stick

Instructions
Wash the orange, lemon, green apple, and strawberries thoroughly under running water.
Cut the orange and lemon into thin slices. Cut the green apple into small cubes, leaving the skin on. Hull and halve the strawberries.
In a large pitcher, combine the orange slices, lemon slices, apple cubes, and strawberries.
Pour the granulated sugar over the fruit in the pitcher and gently muddle the fruit for 1-2 minutes to release their juices.
Add the brandy, triple sec (or Cointreau), orange juice, and lemon juice to the pitcher. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour the red wine into the pitcher and gently stir to combine. Add the cinnamon stick for a touch of spice.
Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight) to allow the flavors to meld together.
Just before serving, add the soda water or sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and ladle the sangria into the glasses, ensuring each glass gets a mix of fruit and liquid.
Serve immediately with a long spoon or straw and enjoy your authentic Majorca Sangria!
