Summer is on its way out…Time to rally the troops, soak up the sun and sip on some Sangria for possibly the last time this year. Variations of Sangria have been popular in Spain and across Europe for hundreds of years, however it wasn’t introduced to America until the 1964 World’s Fair in New York.
Recipe:
2 bottles red Spanish table wine
1 cup brandy
1/2 cup triple sec
1 cup orange juice
1 cup pomegranate juice
1/2 cup simple syrup
Orange slices
Apple Slices
Blackberries
Pomegranate seeds
Mix all ingredients together and let stand in a tightly sealed container or pitcher for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator before serving. Mix today, serve tomorrow.
I had slept on Sangria for awhile until my sis brought a bottle to a little family gather this summer. I pretty much drank the whole bottle. Will make sure to stock up next summer though.
