Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 3 cups red wine
  • 2 oranges
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 ounces whisky or any hard liquor of your choice
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 green apple sliced
  • 2 peaches sliced
  • 1 can lemon soda or sparkling water

Instructions

  1. Adding syrup to the drink is an optional step if you like a sweeter sangria. Heat a saucepan on low heat, add 3 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water to the saucepan. Keep string until the sugar has dissolved and the clear syrup forms. Turn off the heat, transfer the syrup to a small bowl and cool down.

  2. Wash both orange and lemon by rubbing them with salt; rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Cut off thick pieces of rind before chopping the orange and lemon in half.

  3. Squeeze out orange and lemon juice into a cup.

  4. In a large pitcher, add red wine, syrup (if you like your drink sweet), orange juice, lemon juice, and whisky, and stir to combine well. Add a cinnamon stick and the pieces of orange and lemon rind. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight).

  5. Serve the drink cold in a glass with apple slices and peach slices. Finally, top off with lemon soda (or sparkling water if desired). Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Deeply wash the oranges and lemon by rubbing them with salt. Rinse and pat dry before cutting off thick pieces of rind.
  • After combining all ingredients in a pitcher, cover and refrigerate the sangria for at least 2 hours. It helps the sangria to take on all the fragrance and aroma from fruits and the cinnamon stick.
