1(750ml) standard bottlemedium-bodied red wine*(see notes)
½cuporange juice
¼cupbrandy
For serving: sparkling water(optional)
Instructions
Place all the ingredients, except the sparkling water, in a large pitcher and stir to combine.
Refrigerate sangria for 3 to 4 hours, up to overnight, before serving.
When ready to serve, give the sangria one last stir and pour over a glass of ice. Top with sparkling water for some bubbles if desired.
Notes
Wine: A medium-bodied red wine like a Spanish Tempranillo or Garnacha is perfect. You could also use a bottle of cabernet sauvignon or a merlot. There’s no need to spend $30 on a bottle. Something in the $10 to $15 price range will work just fine.
