Red Wine Sangria

Here’s the only Sangria recipe you’ll need for summer. Make sure to make with a low tannin red Spanish wine if possible.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup brandy
• 3-4 Tbsp. superfine white sugar, or to taste (you can also make a simple syrup with regular sugar using equal parts water and sugar)
• 1/4 cup Triple Sec
• 1.5L bottle fruity, medium-bodied red wine, chilled
• 1 large orange, washed, thinly sliced, and circles cut in half
• 1 lime, washed and thinly sliced
• 1 small apple, finely diced

Method:

Whisk together sugar and orange juice. Add brandy, triple sec, and wine. Stir in fruit. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve, over ice, if desired.
