Sparkling Red Wine Sangria Recipe
This Sparkling Red Wine Sangria combines red wine with fresh Pink Lady apples, orange slices, and a splash of orange liqueur and apple juice, creating a fruity and refreshing beverage. The addition of prosecco right before serving gives it a lively sparkle and light effervescence. The mixed fruit adds texture and subtle sweetness, making it enjoyable to sip slowly over ice. It is well-suited for serving chilled at gatherings or as a festive drink during warmer months.
Ingredients
- 750 mL red wine bottle
- 1 apple cored and chopped, Pink Lady variety
- 1 orange quartered and sliced
- ¼ cup orange liqueur (triple sec of Cointreau)
- ¼ cup apple juice
- 350 mL prosecco (or dry sparkling wine)
Instructions
- In a glass container, combine wine, fruit, liqueur, and apple juice. Refrigerate a minimum of 1 hour, but at least 6 hours is recommended.
- To serve, pour sangria and a scoop of fruit into an ice-filled glass leaving room to float the bubbles. Top with about 2 ounces prosecco, depending on the size of your glass.
Notes
- You can substitute sparkling water or sparkling apple cider for prosecco to reduce alcohol or alter sweetness.
- Allow the wine and fruit mixture to chill for at least six hours to fully blend the flavors before adding the sparkling wine.
- Use Pink Lady apples for a balanced tart and sweet flavor in the sangria.
