How to make sangria with red wine
Sangria is a refreshing drink made with wine, fresh fruit, and a variety of other ingredients, depending on the recipe. It’s typically served over ice and makes a great pitcher cocktail for summer BBQs, picnic, and parties.
The key to a good sangria is to start with a quality red wine. A fruity, light-bodied wine is best. Avoid using a tannic wine like a cabernet sauvignon or merlot. The tannins in these wines will make the sangria bitter. The goal is to make a sangria that is balanced and not too sweet.
Once you’ve selected your wine, it’s time to choose your fruit. The most traditional fruits to use in sangria are oranges, lemons, and limes. For a twist, you could also use apples, grapes, or berries. The key is to use fresh fruit that is ripe and in season. Cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces so that it will infused evenly into the wine.
To make the sangria, start by adding the cut fruit to a large pitcher. Next, add a sweetener. This can be sugar, honey, or agave nectar. Stir until the sweetener is dissolved.
Now it’s time to add the wine. Pour in the entire bottle of wine. You can also add a splash of brandy, Triple Sec, or another type of liquor, if desired. Stir everything together gently.
Place the pitcher of sangria in the fridge and allow it to chill for at least an hour, or overnight for best results. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
When you’re ready to serve, add a few ice cubes to each glass and pour the sangria over top. Garnish with a piece of fruit, if desired. Enjoy!
