Sangria (classic red wine)

Sangria is Spain's summer drink: red wine, fresh fruit, a little brandy and soda. Refreshing and bright, it is made for a crowd. Don't use an expensive wine, because the fruit and chilling round out the flavour. One pitcher sets the mood for a whole garden party.

Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

1. Slice the orange and lemon into thin rounds and dice the peach or apple.
2. Put the fruit, sugar and cinnamon stick into a large pitcher. Pour in the brandy and let it sit for 10 minutes so the fruit releases its juice. ⏱ Timer: 10 min
3. Add the wine and orange juice and stir well until the sugar dissolves.
4. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, so the flavours meld.
5. Just before serving, pour in the sparkling water and add ice cubes.
6. Ladle into glasses with the fruit. For a non-alcoholic version, replace the wine with grape juice.

• Chill for at least 4 hours for a richer flavour.
• Add the soda only when serving, or it will go flat.
• With white wine and peach, it becomes sangria blanca.
