Equipment

  • Large pitcher: Glass works best.
  • Mixing spoon: Wooden or metal is great.
  • Measuring cups and spoons for accuracy

Ingredients

To make this cocktail, you'll need these ingredients:

  • 1 bottle of red wine
  • 1/2 cup of brandy
  • 1/4 cup of orange liqueur
  • 1 orange sliced
  • 1 apple chopped
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 star anise
  • Plus 1/4 cup of sugar for sweetness, and some cranberries for color.

Adjust the ingredients based on your taste!

Instructions

Let's get mixing! 🍹

  • Combine: Pour the red wine, brandy, and orange liqueur into the pitcher.
  • Add fruits and spices: Place the orange slices, apple pieces, cinnamon stick, and star anise in the pitcher.
  • Mix: Stir gently with the spoon.
  • Chill: Let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Before serving, add a bit more sugar or spices if desired.

    Notes

    I always find a few tips helpful:
    Let the sangria chill well to blend the flavors.
    Feel free to use different fruits like pears or pomegranates. 🍏
    For a fizzy touch, add some soda right before serving.
    Hope you love making this as much as I do! 🥂
