Ingredients
– 1/2 medium apple, cored, skin on, chopped into small pieces
– 1/2 medium orange, rind on, sliced into small pieces with large seeds removed, plus more for garnish
– 3 to 4 tablespoons brown sugar
– 3/4 cup orange juice, plus more to taste
– 1/3 cup brandy, plus more to taste
– 750 ml bottle dry Spanish red wine
– Approximately 1 cup ice for chilling
Instructions
1-First Steps: Prepping and Muddling: Start with the directions from the traditional red sangria recipe. Add the apples, oranges, and brown sugar to a large pitcher, then muddle for 45 seconds to release the juices and enhance that fruity essence. This step is key for an easy sangria that packs a traditional punch.
2-First Steps: Prepping and Muddling: Next, pour in the orange juice and brandy, muddling again for 30 seconds to blend everything smoothly. Muddling helps infuse the flavors deeply, turning your sangria recipe into something truly special and refreshing.
3-Mixing and Chilling: Now, add the 750 ml bottle of dry Spanish red wine and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust as needed perhaps more sugar for sweetness, extra juice for orange notes, or additional brandy for strength. For how to make sangria with perfect flavor, chilling is crucial, so add ice and stir to cool it down before serving.
4-Mixing and Chilling: Serve immediately with extra ice in glasses if desired, and garnish with orange segments for a visually appealing touch. If youβre making this for a group, remember tips like adding ice to individual glasses to avoid diluting the batch. This easy sangria recipe scales well, so feel free to double it for larger events.
