Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Dry red or white wine
- 120 ml Orange juice
- 60 ml Brandy or orange liqueur (optional)
- 240 ml Soda water or lemon-lime soda
- 1 Orange
- 1 Apple (or pear for white sangria)
- 1 Lemon
- 1 cup Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tbsp Sugar or honey (optional)
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash all fruits thoroughly and pat them dry.
Slice the orange, lemon, and apple (or pear) into thin rounds or small wedges, leaving the skin on for added flavor and color.
In a large pitcher, combine the sliced fruits and mixed berries.
Sprinkle the sugar or drizzle honey over the fruits if a sweeter sangria is desired, and gently muddle with a wooden spoon to release some fruit juices.
Pour the red or white wine into the pitcher and add the orange juice and brandy (if using). Stir well to combine.
Refrigerate the sangria for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Just before serving, add the soda water or lemon-lime soda and stir gently.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria, making sure to scoop some fruit into each glass.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.
