Sweetheart Sangria Cocktail Recipe
Equipment
- I’ll use a set of measuring cups and spoons to ensure the right amounts of each ingredient go in.
- A mixing spoon helps me blend everything evenly.
- It’s important to have a sharp knife to slice fruits, adding both flavor and a festive look.
- Lastly, a cutting board is handy to keep the mess at bay.
Ingredients
The key to a fantastic Sangria is using fresh and vibrant ingredients. Here’s my list:
- bottle of red wine 750 ml
- 1/4 cup brandy
- 1/4 cup orange liqueur
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 orange sliced
- 1 lemon sliced
- 1 lime sliced
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1 can soda water optional, for fizz
I make sure all my fruits are fresh and washed. The combination of citrus fruits and berries adds a wonderful burst of color and taste. Feel free to adjust the fruit mix based on what’s in season!
Instructions
Here’s how I put it all together:
- In a large pitcher, I pour the red wine, brandy, and orange liqueur. I then stir in the sugar until dissolved.
- Next, I add the sliced orange, lemon, lime, strawberries, and raspberries. This step infuses the Sangria with fruity goodness.
- I cover the pitcher and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (up to overnight for richer flavors).
- Optional, just before serving, I top it off with soda water for a fizzy touch.
I hope it brings joy and flavor to your gatherings!
