Classic sangria

Sangria recipes are the inspiration for many red wine punch styles. Sangria as a named drink was created in Spain and made popular in the US at the 1964 World's Fair. It normally has red wine, brandy, and fruit. However, it can be made in just about any style you can imagine.

Ingredients:

  • 1 orange, sliced
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 1 apple, sliced
  • 2 tablespoonsbrown sugar
  • 1 bottle (0,75 L) Pauliteiros or Mirandum red table wine
  • 1/4 cup orange liqueur

Wash and slice fruits. Add sugar and orange liqueur and fruits to a pither or punch bowl. Put in Pauliteiros or Mirandum red wine. Stir to mix in fruit. Chill overnight or for at least three hours before serving. When ready to serve add in seltzer water to give the sangria some fizz. Serve with ice cubes if you want.

Enjoy!
