    How to Make Red, Red Wine Sangria

    1. Macerate the Fruit

    Combine the chopped fruit, sugar, and brandy in a spacious 3-quart pitcher. Stir the mixture gently until the sugar dissolves. Let it chill in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours.

    2. Complete the Sangria

    Add the red wine, fresh orange juice, and lemon-lime soda to the macerated fruit mixture. Stir gently to blend. Serve the sangria over ice in glasses, garnished with additional fresh fruit.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Quality Wine Selection

    Choose a fruity and medium-bodied red wine such as a Spanish Garnacha or Tempranillo for a harmonious base to your sangria.

    Chill'n'Serve

    Serve sangria chilled and over ice in glasses to prevent dilution in the pitcher.

    Balancing the Sweetness

    Use fresh orange juice and a small amount of honey, agave syrup, or simple syrup to control sweetness, adding gradually to taste.

    Carbonation Consideration

    Top off sangria with soda water or lightly flavored soda just before serving for effervescence without dilution.

    Soaking Time

    Let fruits soak in the wine for 2 to 4 hours for flavors to meld while avoiding overnight soaking which can lead to mushy, bitter fruit.
