Eye-Catching Sangria
This fabulous Sangria is not just a drink; it’s a celebration in a glass! Bright, fruity, and perfectly vibrant, it’s guaranteed to bring smiles and laughter to your next get-together.
Ingredients:
- 1 bottle of red wine (750ml)
- 1/4 cup brandy
- 1/4 cup orange liqueur (like Triple Sec)
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 1 lime, sliced
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 apple, cored and diced
- 2 cups club soda (or lemon-lime soda for a sweeter twist)
Instructions:
- Start by pouring the red wine into a large pitcher – the louder the splash, the better!
- Add the brandy, orange liqueur, and orange juice to the wine. Stir gently to mingle the flavors. Who knew they would get along so well?
- Sprinkle in the sugar. Give it a taste and adjust as needed. You want it sweet but not cloying, like the perfect joke.
- Now, it’s time to get fruity! Toss in the orange, lemon, lime, strawberries, and apple pieces. Let them dance in the pitcher – they love a good party!
- Cover the pitcher and let the mixture chill in the fridge for at least a couple of hours, or overnight if you’re feeling patient. The longer it sits, the better it gets!
- Just before serving, add the club soda (or lemon-lime soda) to the pitcher for that bubbly, fizzy finish.
- Serve over ice in whimsical glassware that matches your mood and garnish with a fresh fruit slice if you’re feeling fancy!
And there you have it! A delightful Sangria that’s easy to make and perfect for sharing laughs with friends. So raise your glasses high and let’s toast to good times and great cocktails!
