Ingredients
- 1 bottle red wine 750 ml
- 1/2 cup orange juice fresh preferred
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup sugar or honey
- 1 orange sliced
- 1 lemon sliced
- 1 apple chopped
- 1/2 cup berries strawberries or blueberries
- 1 cup soda water or sparkling water
- Ice cubes as needed
Instructions
Prepare the Fruits
- Wash all fruits well before use. Slice the orange and lemon into thin rounds. Chop the apple into small pieces. This helps release more flavor into the drink.
Add Fruits to Pitcher
- Place all sliced and chopped fruits into a large pitcher. Mix gently so the fruits spread evenly. This step builds the base flavor for the sangria.
Add Sweetener
- Add sugar or honey over the fruits. Stir lightly so it coats the fruit pieces. This helps draw out juices and adds natural sweetness to the drink.
Pour in Juices
- Add fresh orange juice and lemon juice to the pitcher. Mix well with the fruit. This gives the sangria a bright and fresh taste.
Add the Wine
- Pour the red wine slowly into the pitcher. Stir gently to combine everything. Choose a medium-bodied wine for the best balance of flavor.
Chill the Mixture
- Cover the pitcher and place it in the fridge. Let it chill for at least 2 hours. This helps all the flavors blend together nicely.
Add Sparkling Water
- Before serving, add soda water or sparkling water. Stir gently to keep the drink fizzy and fresh.
Serve Over Ice
- Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the sangria over ice. Add some fruit pieces into each glass for extra flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use fresh fruits for best taste.
- Chill longer for deeper flavor.
- Adjust sweetness based on your taste.
- Use white wine for a lighter version.
- Add mint leaves for a fresh twist.
- Do not add soda too early.
- Use good quality wine for better results.
