Sangria Recipe
Any faves? Thanks!
Re: Sangria Recipe
I've made this 3 times and the punch bowl is always empty early (I double the batch) so I figure it's a keeper.
INGREDIENTS:
1 Bottle of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, Zinfandel, Shiraz)
1 Lemon cut into wedges
1 Orange cut into wedges
1 Lime cut into wedges
2 Tbsp sugar
Splash of orange juice
2 Shots of gin
1 Cup of sliced strawberries or raspberries (may use thawed or frozen)
1 Small can of diced pineapples (with juice)
4 Cups ginger ale
PREPARATION:
Pour wine in the pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the lemon, orange and lime into the wine. Toss in the fruit wedges (leaving out seeds if possible) and pineapple then add sugar, orange juice and gin.
Chill overnight. Add ginger ale, berries and ice just before serving. If you'd like to serve right away, use chilled red wine and serve over lots of ice. However, remember that the best Sangrias are chilled around 24 hours in the frig. - allowing the flavors to really marinate into each other.
750 mL bottle of white wine - I like Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay
2 cups of white grape juice or white cranberry juice
? cup of triple sec
A couple shots of peach schnapps
Sliced summer fruit of your choice - really good summer peaches, blackberries and raspberries are really pretty with this
Combine all indredients and chill overnight
We made a super white sangria last weekend:
soak rasberries, blackberries & blueberries in bacardi & strawberry bacardi for a couple of days
add 3 bottles of cheap sauv blanc
cut up lemons, limes, peaches, and add grapes to mixture
add 1 2L bottle of 7-up or sprite
add sugar to taste.
we made a huge container and it was gone in no time.
cheap red wine + orangina (or 7-up if you can't find the orangina) + cut up fruit.
easy peasy!
Peach Sangria:
4 cups pureed or cut up peaches
2 bottles pinot grigio
4 cups peach scnapps
add white rum if you're feelin' frisky
Regular Sangria:
2 bottles red wine
2 cups Brandy
3/4 cup Triple Sec
1/2 cup simple syrup (I use 1/4 cup though)
1 cup orange juice
1-2 apples chopped
1 orange chopped
grapes
