The perfect brew to put you in the holiday mood, Sangria is fruity, light and super easy to make!
You don’t need crazy tools or any bartending skills to make this fresh, fruity and fabulous drink.
Red wine Sangria is festive and fun, a perfect party punch to pair with a drunken brunch.
Start by making a cinnamon-spiced syrup for sweetness and flavour!
Mix equal parts water and sugar.
Add cinnamon
and star anise.
These flavours perfectly complement red wine.
Mix this until all the sugar dissolves and the syrup thickens slightly.
We recommend you make this in advance to reduce hassle on the party day and allow the flavours
to develop.
Now for final assembly, add wine to a pitcher.
Try to use inexpensive wine for this, as you will be masking its true taste with the additions.
Next add the cinnamon syrup,
some orange juice,
a tipple of brandy for an extra boozy kick.
Now we’ll slice up some crisp apples
and some juicy oranges and add those in as well.
Fruit infuses the wine with fresh flavour and sweetness
and gives the sangria a fun confetti vibe.
Refrigerate this until you’re ready to serve.
When serving top it up with some club soda
and garnish with a cinnamon stick
and some rosemary for colour and fragrance.
Even the laziest cooks can whip up this sangria right in the serving glass with no chopping
or minimal effort.
Start with long stem glasses and squeeze in some lemon juice.
A couple spoons of caster sugar, which will dissolve faster than granulated sugar.
To this, we’ll add a splash of brandy which is optional but recommended.
Stir it all in until the sugar dissolves into the amber liquid.
Then go in with the rosé.
You can vary the sugar to your taste, of course, because rose is a sweeter wine.
Then pop in your berries.
We’ve got fresh raspberries, sweet blueberries and some beautiful strawberries which we chopped
up cause they were a bit large.
You can also mash them up and add a puree to this for some extra fruity flavour!
Top it with club soda and a sprig of mint for freshness
and just like that you’re ready to get your bubbly on!
If you’re a white wine junkie, then this Sangria is perfect for you!
We start by cubing some honeydew melons and musk melons.
We’re using a melon baller to get some cute round shapes but you can just as easily cut the fruit normally.
We’re also going to make a fruit mixture using the honeydew and some white wine.
This will help infuse the sangria with a sweet melon flavour.
If you’re making this last minute and don’t have time to soak the fruits for long,
then this method is a great little cheat.
Now add the puree to a jug or even a large mason jar.
Follow this with some brandy
or some white rum - both of which are optional.
Now, add in the wine.
Any inexpensive type will do.
Add the melons,
some vibrant kiwis
and a few slices of lemon and let it chill.
When serving you can add some club soda or seltzer and garnish with a lime wedge.
You can choose to add ice to these or skip it based on your preference.
Serve these up at your next shindig and we promise people will be begging for the recipes!
We hope this video lifts your spirits.
