Sangria March 15, 2007
Ingredients
4 Bottles of Spanish Red Wine
1 1/2 C. Sugar
2 C. Brandy
2 C. Orange Juice
2 Oranges (Sliced)
2 Apples (Sliced)
2 Pears (Sliced)
1 Mango (Sliced)
1 Lemon (Sliced)
1 Lime (Sliced)
48 oz. Chilled Club Soda
Method
1. Stir together all ingredients except the club soda. Chill overnight.
2. Add wine mixture to glass, about 2/3 full, fill rest with club soda (or to taste)
I made this for our Tapas and Sangria shower, and it was fantastic and easy. It served about 10 people (a couple drinks each). I made the wine mixture in 2 large pitchers, and just added the club soda as we served it. You could add whatever fruit you have in the house, but there needs to be some sort of citrus in it. I used an inexpensive Spanish red wine and it turned out great. There wasn’t a drop left at the end of the party!
