ITS HOT TODAY….you should be drinking this!
Red Spring Sangria
SANGRIA
- 3 bottle of inexpensive red wine (I like Rioja or Tempranillo)
- 1 ½ cup brandy
- ½ cup grand marnier
- 1 ½ liter of sparkling water or seltzer
- ¾ cup caster sugar
- 2 limes, 1 juiced, 1 sliced thin
- 3 orange, cut into quarter moons
- 2 apple, thinly sliced into half moons
- ice
Assembly
- combine fruit and sugar in a large bowl and gently muddle, allow to macerate for abut 10 minutes
- top with liquids except seltzer water
- for best flavor infusion let sit at least overnight
- add seltzer water in batches just before serving to desired fizz effect
(it shouldn’t feel like Champagne, just nice, crisp and refreshing)
