Red Sangria
Learn how to make my Dad's famous red sangria recipe! Made with red wine, fresh fruit and brandy, this traditional sangria recipe is easy to make and always a hit at parties!
Ingredients
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 bottles dry red wine, 750 ml each - preferably tempranillo or cabernet sauvignon
- ½ cup brandy
- ¼ cup triple sec
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 cup club soda, chilled
- ice cubes
Instructions
- Add orange and lemon slices to the bottom of a large bowl or pitcher.
- Sprinkle sugar over the fruit slices, then use a muddler to muddle the sugar into the orange and lemon slices.
- Add red wine, brandy, triple sec and orange juice to the bowl or pitcher, mix well.
- Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve, I recommend a minimum of 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
- When ready to serve the sangria, pour it into a glass filled with ice and top with a splash of club soda.
Notes
- Muddling: If you don't have a muddler, the back of a spoon will work just fine.
- Sweeteners: agave syrup, maple syrup or honey can be used instead of sugar as a natural sweetener. To make this sangria sweeter, add 1-2 tablespoons of additional sweetener at a time until you reach your desired level of sweetness.
- Fruit: other fruits that can be added to sangria include diced apples or pears, fresh or frozen berries, or grapes.
