Sangria, the ultimate summer cocktail. It originated in Spain and Portugal. I love sangria but have never made it at home. The great thing about sangria is that you can add just about any type of fruit you want. A friend and fellow foodie gave me this recipe recently so I decided to try homemade sangria. This pretty liquid is refreshing, delicious, and has a kiiiiick! You can add club soda or ginger ale if you like a bit of bubbly in your sangria.
1 bottle of dry red wine, chilled
1-2 cups brandy (depending on the week you've had)
1/2 cup sugar
Ice
2 limes, sliced into rounds
2 oranges, sliced into rounds
Put the wine, brandy, and sugar into a large glass pitcher. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Slide in the ice, add the fruit, and stir again. Serve in tall glasses with non-plastic straws. Cheers!
