Spiked Holiday Sangria
Simple, Red Spiked Sangria made with simple methods and just a few ingredients. The perfect fruity beverage that’s adaptable and delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 1.5L bottle of sweet red wine (Sweet Red Blend by Barefoot)
- 1.5 - 2 cups brandy – enough to cover the fruit
- 1 can of seltzer or carbonated water (try one with a hint of lime)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 navel oranges
- 4 gala apples
- 1/2 lbs. red seedless grapes
- 1 lemon
- 1 lime
- 2 cinnamon sticks
Instructions
- Peel and dice the oranges, core, and dice the apples, and cut the grapes in half. Then slice up the lemon and lime and save half of each for garnish – set aside in a ziplock bag.
- Marinade all the cut fruit (only a few lemon and lime slices – keep the rest aside) in a large bowl with the brown sugar, brandy, and cinnamon sticks. Let sit overnight in the fridge.
- The next day, remove the lemon and lime from the marinade and add your sweet red wine to the brandy. Make sure you have a large pitcher.
- To serve: put some mixed fruit and sangria in a glass with ice and use the slices of lemon and lime to garnish. Enjoy!
