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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
