Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Red wine (such as Rioja or Merlot)
- 1 whole Orange
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 1 whole Green apple
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 60 ml Brandy
- 240 ml Orange juice
- 240 ml Club soda or sparkling water (optional)
- 2 cups Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the orange, lemon, and lime thoroughly. Slice the orange into thin rounds, and cut the lemon and lime into wedges. Remove any seeds.
Hull and slice the strawberries. Core the green apple and chop it into small cubes or thin slices.
In a large pitcher, add the slices of orange, lemon, lime, strawberries, and apple.
Sprinkle the sugar over the fruit, and gently muddle them with a wooden spoon to release their juices and flavors.
Pour the red wine into the pitcher, followed by the brandy and orange juice. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld. For the best taste, refrigerate overnight.
When ready to serve, add ice cubes to the pitcher. If you'd like a bit of fizz, stir in the club soda or sparkling water just before serving.
Pour the sangria into glasses, making sure each serving gets a generous portion of fruit. Serve chilled and enjoy!
