Ingredients
  

For the Sangria

  • 0.75 liter Red wine A dry red wine like Rioja, Merlot, or Cabernet Sauvignon
  • 0.25 cup Orange juice
  • 0.5 cup Brandy Optional, but adds depth
  • 0.25 cup Triple sec or Cointreau Orange liqueur
  • 0.1 cup Granulated sugar Adjust to taste
  • 1 Orange Sliced
  • 1 Lemon Sliced
  • 1 Lime Sliced
  • 1 Apple Chopped
  • 0.5 cup Berries Mixed, e.g., strawberries, raspberries, blueberries
  • 1 liter Club soda or sparkling water Chilled, for serving

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a large pitcher, combine the red wine, orange juice, brandy (if using), triple sec, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Add the sliced orange, lemon, lime, chopped apple, and mixed berries to the pitcher.
  • Stir everything together gently. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  • When ready to serve, pour the sangria into glasses filled with ice. Top each glass with a splash of chilled club soda or sparkling water.
  • Garnish with extra fruit slices if desired.

Notes

For a sweeter sangria, add more sugar or a bit of simple syrup. For a less alcoholic version, increase the amount of orange juice and club soda. This recipe is very versatile and can be adapted with different fruits and wines.
