Ingredients
- 1 orange diced, plus more for garnishing if desired
- 1 green apple diced
- 1 lemon diced
- 1 cup orange juice
- ⅓ cup brandy
- 1 ml bottle dry Spanish red wine Rioja, Tempranillo or Garnacha (I used Tempranillo)
- 1-3 Tablespoons maple syrup agave, simple syrup or cane sugar to sweeten optional
- sparkling water optional
Instructions
- Dice the apple, orange, and lemon into small pieces. Make sure to leave the peels on.
- Add fruit pieces into your pitcher along with the orange juice.
- Pour the wine and brandy into the pitcher. Stir to combine, taste and add any sweetener as desired. Start with 1 Tablespoon at a time and add more as desired. I only used 1 Tablespoon of maple syrup.
- Stir everything together until it's all combined. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 3-4 hours or overnight. The longer the sangria sits, the more time the flavors can meld together.
- When ready to serve, pour sangria over ice and top with sparkling water and extra orange slices, if desired.
