Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Red wine (such as Rioja or Tempranillo)
- 120 ml Orange juice
- 60 ml Brandy
- 30 ml Simple syrup (or adjust to taste)
- 1 whole Orange
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 whole Apple
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 240 ml Club soda or sparkling water (optional)
- 300 g Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the orange, lemon, and apple thoroughly.
Slice the orange and lemon into thin rounds. Core the apple and dice it into small cubes.
In a large glass pitcher, combine the red wine, orange juice, brandy, and simple syrup. Stir well until the simple syrup is fully dissolved.
Add the orange slices, lemon slices, apple cubes, and cinnamon stick into the pitcher. Stir to combine.
Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Overnight is ideal for the best flavor.
Before serving, taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more simple syrup if needed. If you prefer a lighter sangria, add club soda or sparkling water.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria over the ice, ensuring each glass gets a combination of fruit and liquid.
Optional: Garnish with a slice of orange or lemon for presentation.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
