Red Sangria

Sangria is a sweet cocktail made from Spanish red wine and fresh fruits. It is a cocktail that looks stylish and is excellent for making ahead of time.

• For maximum flavor, prepare the sangria the night before the event to allow all the ingredients to meld together.
• Cut the fruits into small pieces so you can easily add a little fruit to individual glasses.
• If you prefer lighter cocktails, add soda when serving for freshness.

• Use white wine instead of red wine for a different flavor of sangria.
• Try orange liqueur instead of brandy, which will add citrus notes.
• Alternatively, you can add the following fruits - strawberries, raspberries, pineapple, mango, or kiwi.
• Add fresh herbs like mint or rosemary, or even ginger for an interesting spicy twist.

• Red wines, especially those with high tannin content, can age and develop new aromas and flavors over time. Some wines can be stored for decades!
• Brandy adds depth and complexity to the sangria, as it is aromatic and heavy, making it a staple ingredient in many cocktails.
