Ingredients

  • 1 bottle good quality white wine, chilled such as Albariño
  • 3 cups mixed fresh fruit, sliced such as apples, peaches, grapes, and strawberries
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brandy
  • ¼ cup fruity liquor of choice
  • ice cubes
  • sparkling water optional

Instructions

  • Wash and slice the fruit as desired. I recommend slicing the grapes in half, and other fruits into cubes or thin slices.
  • Place the fruit in a large bowl, add the sugar, and toss gently. Leave to macerate for at least 5 minutes, but preferably overnight in the fridge. Toss occasionally as the fruit macerates to encourage the sugar to dissolve.
  • Stir the brandy and liquor into the macerated fruit, then place the mixture in a large pitcher. Fill it three-quarters of the way with the chilled white wine, then stir gently to combine.
  • Let the fruit infuse the wine in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, for the best flavor, or serve immediately if you're in a hurry.
  • To serve, fill a large glass with ice. Add some of the soaked fruit to the glass, then fill with the wine, leaving about a centimeter of space at the top. Fill the glass the rest of the way with sparkling water and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Be sure to use a good quality wine to reduce the chance of a headache. However, don't choose one with complex notes, as you want the infused fruit flavors to be dominant.
  • Experiment with different wines, liquor, and combinations of fruits for a delightfully different result.
  • If you have time, let the fruit macerate and the sangria infuse overnight, as this will significantly improve the sangria's flavor.
  • Sangria will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge with the fruit, and for up to 1 week in the fridge without the fruit.
