Equipment

Large pitcher: I love using a clear glass one to show off all the colorful fruits.
Stirring spoon: A long one works best to mix everything evenly.
Cutting board and sharp knife: These are essential for slicing fruits.

Measuring cups and spoons: Accuracy makes all the difference for the perfect balance.

Ingredients

This sangria is bursting with flavor. Here’s what I use:

1 bottle of red wine 750ml
1/4 cup orange liqueur
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup sugar or to taste
1 orange thinly sliced
1 lemon thinly sliced
1 cup strawberries sliced
Sparkling water to top off

These ingredients come together to make the perfect Valentine’s Day treat. You can adjust the fruits based on your taste or what you have handy.

Instructions

Making this sangria is super easy:

Slice the fruits: I start by slicing the oranges, lemons, and strawberries.
Combine ingredients: In a large pitcher, I add the wine, orange liqueur, orange juice, and sugar. Stir it until the sugar dissolves.

Add fruits: I mix in the sliced fruits, giving it a gentle stir.
Chill: Let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours. This lets the flavors mix well.
Serve: When serving, I add ice to glasses and top with a splash of sparkling water for some fizz. 🥂

Notes

Here are a few tips to make your sangria even better:

Customize it: Feel free to add different fruits like raspberries or apples. This cocktail is versatile!

Make ahead: I sometimes prepare it the night before. The extra hours give the flavors more time to blend.

Sweetness level: You can adjust the sugar. Some like it sweeter, while others prefer it less so. Taste as you go.
