Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Red wine
- 120 ml Orange juice
- 60 ml Brandy
- 1 large Orange
- 1 large Lemon
- 1 large Lime
- 1 large Apple
- 100 g Berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
- 250 ml Sparkling water or soda water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (optional)
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick (optional)
Instructions
Slice the orange, lemon, and lime into thin rounds. Core and chop the apple into small cubes. Set all the fruit aside.
In a large pitcher or mixing bowl, combine the red wine, orange juice, and brandy. Stir well to mix.
Add the sliced citrus fruits, chopped apple, and berries to the wine mixture. If using a cinnamon stick for extra flavor, add it now.
If you prefer a sweeter sangria, dissolve 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar into the mixture. Stir until fully combined.
Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the sangria for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Just before serving, add the sparkling water or soda water to the pitcher for a fizzy touch. Stir gently.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria over the ice. Garnish with a slice of citrus or a sprig of fresh mint if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
