Description
A vibrant and refreshing sangria featuring white wine, fresh fruits, and a hint of brandy, perfect for holiday celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 2 apples, sliced
- 2 oranges, sliced
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1/2 cup brandy (optional)
- 2 cups sparkling water or lemon-lime soda
- 1–2 cinnamon sticks
- Fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
- Start by preparing your fruits. Slice apples and oranges into thin wedges or rounds, and toss in a handful of fresh cranberries.
- Combine the sliced fruits with the white wine and brandy (if using) in a large pitcher. Stir gently to allow flavors to mingle.
- Let the mixture chill in the refrigerator for at least 120 minutes. This marinating process allows the fruits to infuse the wine with their natural sweetness.
- Add sparkling water or soda to the pitcher just before serving to give the sangria a delightful fizz.
- Serve over ice, garnished with extra fruit slices and a sprig of fresh mint if desired.
Notes
This sangria is versatile; feel free to swap brandy for vodka or omit it for a family-friendly version. Enjoy serving this in chilled glasses for the best experience.
