Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make a fantastic batch of sangria:

1 bottle of red wine: Choose a fruity inexpensive wine.
1/4 cup brandy: Adds depth to the flavor.

1/4 cup orange liqueur: Optional but adds sweetness.
2 cups orange juice: Freshly squeezed is best.
1/4 cup sugar: Adjust to taste.
1 orange sliced: Adds vibrant color and flavor.

1 apple chopped: Use a firm apple like Granny Smith.
1 lemon sliced: A bit of citrus zest.
1 lime sliced: Adds another layer of citrus flavor.

2 cups club soda: Adds fizz add just before serving.

Instructions

Step-by-Step Guide:

Prepare the fruit: Slice the orange, lemon, and lime. Chop the apple.
Mix liquids: In a large pitcher, combine the wine, brandy, orange liqueur, orange juice, and sugar. Stir well until the sugar dissolves.

Add fruit: Put the fruit slices and chopped apple into the pitcher. Stir gently to combine.
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Letting it sit overnight is even better as it allows the flavors to meld.
Serve: Just before serving, add the club soda for a bit of fizz. Pour over ice and enjoy!

Notes

Adjust sweetness: Taste the sangria before chilling and adjust the sugar if needed.
Fruit choices: Feel free to customize the fruit. Berries, pineapples, or peaches work great too.
Alcohol variations: Substitute gin or rum for brandy if preferred.
Non-alcoholic option: Use grape juice and sparkling water instead of wine and club soda for a kid-friendly version.
