Recipe: Sangria
Okay, so this is a not so complete Sangria recipe. Mommy made this Spanish drink for our girl’s 2nd birthday party. This of course was not for the kids since it contains alcohol.
According to the chef, it had a combination of the following ingredients.
Canned Peaches
Cubed Apples
Orange Pieces
Canned Pineapple
Slices of Lime
Strawberries
Red Wine (Merlot, Cabernet, etc.)
Sprite or Ginger Ale
Pretty much the prep work involved cutting the fruit and soaking it with the Red Wine. Cheap wine is the best. We used Trader Joe wine, both Merlot and Cabernet. As for the amounts, use to your liking. We had about three pitchers using three bottles of wine. You need to let the wine soak in the fruit overnight in the refrigerator for best taste.
When the party starts, add Sprite. We had about a one to one ratio of Sprite and wine. Some recipes have you adding sugar, but you don’t need to because of the sugar from the soda. For best results, make sure the sprite is chilled as well. That’s about it. Enjoy! Some of the guests just drank the juice and left the fruit behind, but I think the fruit pretty good and amazing. Most recipes I found online also added Triple Sec, rum, brandy, or some other spirit…
This is a party drink traditionally made in summer, but you can enjoy any time you like.
