- 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
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.
- 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.
