March 30, 2020 James Hook

Got old wine? Simple, traditional Red Spanish Sangria made with simple methods will help you use it up with just 5 extra ingredients... and it's delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 medium orange (rind on, sliced into small pieces, large seeds removed // plus more for garnish)
  • 3-4 Tbsp organic brown sugar.
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/3 cup brandy
  • 750 ml bottle red wine
  • ~1 cup Ice to chill

Instructions

  1. Add apples, oranges, and sugar to a large pitcher and muddle with a muddler or wooden spoon for 45 seconds.
  2. Add orange juice and brandy and muddle again to combine for 30 seconds.
  3. Add red wine and stir to incorporate, then taste and adjust flavor as needed. I added a bit more brandy, orange juice and brown sugar. Stir to combine.
  4. Add ice and stir once more to chill. Serve as is, or with a bit more ice. Garnish with orange segments (optional).
  5. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours, though best when fresh.
