Here’s how to make the best red wine sangria…the Spanish way! Just a handful of ingredients and fruit make a bold and refreshing drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 orange
  • 1 green apple
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 bottle dry red wine, chilled
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 1/4 cup orange liqueur, such as Cointreau
  • 1 lemon, sliced into rounds
  • Sparkling water, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chop the orange (leaving the peel on) and apple into bite-sized chunks, then add them to the bottom of a pitcher. Sprinkle them with sugar and stir. Let them stand for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  2. After 20 minutes, pour in the red wine, brandy, orange liqueur, and lemon rounds. Stir and refrigerate 1 to 4 hours. (Don’t go beyond 4 hours or the fruit texture starts to degrade.)
  3. Pour the sangria into ice filled glasses and top with a splash of sparkling water (if desired). Add fruit to each glass, preferably on long skewers for easy snacking.
