Red Sangria
Description
Red Sangria mixes green apple, orange, lemon or lime slices, raspberries, and strawberries with Tempranillo or similar Spanish red wine. Orange juice adds natural sweetness and acidity, while Cointreau or another orange-flavored liqueur brings depth and a touch of warmth. The mixture is stirred and chilled overnight or longer to let the fruit flavors infuse the wine fully.
On serving, the sangria is poured over ice, keeping it chilled and refreshing. The combination of fresh fruit with well-chosen wine and liqueur creates a vibrant drink that balances the tannins and fruity tones from the wine with bright citrus and sweet berry accents. Its fruity depth and chilled presentation make it suitable for warm weather or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 green apple cored and chopped, Granny Smith or other
- 1 orange thinly sliced, then sliced into quarters
- 1 lemon thinly sliced, or lime
- ⅓ cup raspberry or sliced strawberries
- ⅓ cup strawberry or sliced strawberries
- 1 (750 mL) bottle tempranillo wine or Garnacha or Rioja wine
- ½ cup orange juice
- ¼ to ½ cup Cointreau or Grand Marnier or brandy
Instructions
- Place the apple, orange, lime, and raspberries in a large pitcher. Pour in the wine, orange juice, and Cointreau and stir. Chill overnight (I like to chill mine for 24 hours for optimal fruit-infused flavor).
- Serve in glasses filled with ice.
