Red Sangria Recipe
Red sangria may look extravagant, but it’s actually the simplest cocktail to make. The hardest part is holding back from drinking it while it sets.
Ingredients
- 1 (750 ml) bottle red wine, such as Grenache, Rioja, Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec, chilled
- ½ cup brandy
- 2 large oranges, one freshly juiced + one diced
- 1 large lemon, ½ juiced + ½ diced
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- ¾ cup fresh raspberries
- ½ cup green apple, diced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 8 large fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 2 red plums, pitted and sliced ¼ inch thick
- ice in each glass for serving
Instructions
- Add wine and brandy to a tall pitcher.
- Juice one of the oranges and half of the lemon. Then add the juices to the pitcher. Saving the second orange and remaining lemon half for later.
- Add 3 tablespoons of sugar and stir until it has completely dissolved into the wine, 20-30 seconds.
- Slice the remaining orange and lemon half and add to the pitcher along with all of the other fruit.
- Stir, cover, and chill for at least 30 minutes and up to a day in advance to give the fruit a chance to infuse the wine.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours, though best when fresh.
- Fill each glass with ice, sangria and ensure you get lots of the delicious fruits in each glass.
