Ingredients:

  • 1 bottle red wine (750 ml)
  • 1 orange, sliced
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 1/2 cup brandy
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup soda water
  • Ice cubes

Instructions:

  1. Combine Ingredients:
    • In a large pitcher, combine the red wine, brandy, orange juice, sugar, and slices of orange and lemon.
    • Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Chill the Sangria:
    • Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
    • This allows the flavors to blend and the fruit to infuse into the wine, enhancing the taste.
  3. Serve:
    • Just before serving, add soda water to the pitcher for a slight fizz. Stir gently to combine.
    • Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the Sangria over the ice.
    • Garnish with additional slices of orange or lemon, if desired.

Tips for Success:

  • For an authentic touch, use a Spanish red wine like Tempranillo or Garnacha.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to suit your preference.
  • For a richer fruit flavor, prepare the Sangria a day ahead and chill overnight.

Wine, Cocktail, or Drink Pairing:

  • Pair this refreshing Sangria with Spanish tapas like patatas bravas, olives, or chorizo for a complete Spanish experience.
