Sangria

Sangria is Spain's famous party punch: red wine, brandy, orange juice, chopped fruit and a splash of lemonade. Made by the jug for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

• 750ml bottle of Spanish red wine
• 50ml brandy
• 100ml orange juice
• 1-2 tablespoons sugar, to taste
• 1 orange, sliced
• 1 apple, chopped
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 250ml lemonade or soda water
• Ice

Method

1. Mix: Put the wine, brandy, orange juice, sugar and fruit in a large jug and stir.
2. Chill: Leave in the fridge for at least 2 hours to let the flavours develop.
3. Serve: Add ice and the lemonade just before serving.

Tips for the Perfect Sangria

• A young, fruity Spanish red such as Tempranillo or Garnacha is ideal.
• Add the fizz last so it stays lively.
• Use white wine or cava for a white sangria.

Good to Know

Under EU rules, only sangria made in Spain or Portugal can be sold simply as 'sangria'; elsewhere the label must say where it was made.

Please drink responsibly. Know your limits, and never drink and drive.
