Easy Red Sangria
Description
This sangria recipe begins by juicing one lime and one lemon and slicing the remaining citrus fruits along with an orange and an apple. These ingredients are combined with red wine, orange juice, apricot brandy, triple sec, and simple syrup to balance sweetness. The mixture is refrigerated for at least an hour to meld flavors and chill thoroughly.
Sangria is served poured over ice and topped with club soda or lemon-lime soda, introducing a fizzy note that lightens the drink. The inclusion of sliced fruit in the pitcher provides natural additional sweetness and texture in the glass.
Adjust sweetness by varying simple syrup amounts and experiment with different fruits as desired. Leftover sangria keeps refrigerated for a few days in a covered container, allowing flavors to develop further.
