Sangria Recipe
Description
The Sangria Recipe uses common fruit such as apples and oranges, freshly juiced lemon, and a medium-bodied red wine like Tempranillo or Garnacha. Brandy and orange juice add complexity and sweetness, balancing the fresh fruit flavors. The mixture is refrigerated for several hours or overnight to allow these flavors to meld.
Once chilled, you serve it over ice and optionally top with sparkling water to add a bubbly touch. The balance between fruity, citrus, and brandy notes results in a versatile and enjoyable drink suitable for gatherings or relaxing occasions.
Choosing an affordable but decent quality red wine in the $10 to $15 range is recommended, as it influences the overall taste without requiring expensive bottles.
Ingredients
- 2 apple diced into chunks
- 1 orange rind removed and diced into chunks
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 lemon, juiced)
- 1 (750ml) standard bottle red wine see notes, medium-bodied
- ½ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup brandy
- sparkling water optional, for serving
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients, except the sparkling water, in a large pitcher and stir to combine.
- Refrigerate sangria for 3 to 4 hours, up to overnight, before serving.
- When ready to serve, give the sangria one last stir and pour over a glass of ice. Top with sparkling water for some bubbles if desired.
Notes
- Use a medium-bodied red wine such as Spanish Tempranillo or Garnacha for balanced flavor.
- Affordable wines in the $10 to $15 range work well without compromising taste.
- Letting the sangria chill several hours or overnight enhances the fruit and wine blend.
