Red Sangria Recipe

Hello! I wanted to make sangria and I did just that the other day for our housewarming + an early birthday party for Luke. Here's my recipe!

Ingredients/What you will need

• A 2.8L jug (or whatever you have really) - I used two jugs just because that's what we had

• 1 x orange

• 1 x apple

• 1 x punnet raspberries

• 1 x lemon

• 1 x lime

• 1 bottle of Spanish red wine (I used Rioja)

• 1 cup French brandy

• 1 cup Cointreau orange liquor

• A whole lotta orange juice (I used about 500ml)

• Optional: white sugar or brown sugar (I didn't end up using any), soda water, ice.

Method

Step 1: Cut up and de-pip all your fruits (into wedges), and place with raspberries into jug/s. Push down with a wooden spoon.

Step 2: Add your red wine in (Spanish wine is best but I think you can use any).

Step 3: Add in your French brandy.

Step 4: Add in your orange juice.

Step 5: Add in your Cointreau (or any other orange liquor).

Step 6: Mix with a wooden spoon (softly and slowly). You can add in sugar here if you like but it's not necessary. Once mixed, place into the fridge overnight (8 hours+ for the best results).

Step 7: Once your Sangria has chilled, you can taste it the next day (the flavours from all the fruits will come out). If it needs editing, add in a little bit more OJ.

Step 8: You can serve chilled as is, or top up with a bit of soda water and ice. Enjoy!

Much love,

PS: let me know if you make this (it was a crowd favourite here).
