A while ago (This
post to be exact.) I
promised you a recipe for sangria, and today I am finally making good. This is
an easy and deliciously refreshing beverage, best when made ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld. It keeps in the fridge forever (if it lasts that long),
and so is perfect for fall parties, tailgating, and warmed up, it makes a smashing
replacement for mulled cider. This recipe is a combination of many, so consider
it more of a guideline. Sangria is very forgiving, so I don't think you can do
a thing to mess it up.
Sangria
1 bottle Zinfandel
1/2 cup brandy
1/4 cup Triple Sec
2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice
1/3 cup superfine sugar
1 5-ounce bottle pineapple
juice
2 Tablespoons
maraschino cherry juice
Ice cubes
1 liter club soda
2 oranges, thinly sliced
1 lemon, thinly sliced
Ice cubes
1 liter club soda
2 oranges, thinly sliced
1 lemon, thinly sliced
Pour the wine, brandy, and Triple Sec into a large pitcher. In a separate bowl,
dissolve sugar in citrus juices; add to liquors. Add pineapple and cherry
juices, and refrigerate until well chilled, 2-3 hours. Add ice cubes, and soda,
and garnish with fruit slices and maraschino cherries.
