Simple Sangria

​

 

I've read that sangria originated in Spain and Portugal,

 

 

which makes sense.  It traditionally contains wine, fruit, and liquor. 

 

 

Well, in this case I am not one to break with tradition.  I have found

 

 

out, however, that it is not something that can just be thrown

 

 

together.  Alsothe addition of sugar is necessary to bring all the

 

 

flavors together.

Ingredients

​

​

  1 lemon, thinly sliced

​

•  1 orange, thinly sliced

​

  ¼ cup superfine sugar

​

  ½ cup of a good orange-flavored liqueur, like Triple-Sec or Gran 

​

  ½ gallon red Burgundy wine (I use red moscata, it's lighter in taste)

​

•  ½ cup of a good brandy or cognac, like Paul Masson or Hennessy

​

​

•  1 quart club soda

​

  Ice

​

​

​

You will need a large glass container with a lid that seals. (for storage)

​

​

​

​

Instructions

​

​

​

1. In the glass container, layer the citrus slices and the sugar; slowly pour in

 

 

    the orange liqueur and red wine.  Gently stir the mixture several times and

 

 

    refrigerate a few hours or even better, overnight.  

​

​

2.  Add the brandy; continue chilling until ready to serve.  Add ice to the

 

 

    serving glasses; pour the sangria over the ice.
