Author Albert Bevia @ Spain on a Fork

Ingredients

  • 1 750ML Bottle of Red Spanish Wine
  • 1 Lemon
  • 1 Orange
  • 1 Peach
  • 1 Apple
  • 1/4 Cup Spanish Brandy
  • 1 Cup Orange Juice (not from concentrate)
  • 1/3 Cup White Sugar
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice 1 orange and 1 lemon, add half of the orange slices and half of the lemon slices into a pitcher and reserve the other slices, cut 1 peach and 1 apple into small cubes and add all the cubed peaches and half the cubed apples to the pitcher, reserve the other cubed apples
  2. Next add a 1/4 cup of a good quality brandy into the pitcher, 1 cup of non-concentrated orange juice and 1/3 cup of white sugar
  3. Using a large wooden spoon, push down on the fruit to release all the juices and then mix everything together
  4. Now add one 750 ml bottle of red wine into the pitcher, I recommend a young Rioja wine, then add 1 cinnamon stick, mix everything together and add the pitcher to the fridge for at least 2 hours to let all the flavors develop
  5. Drizzle a little fresh lemon juice on the reserved apples (so they don´t brown) and add all the reserved fruit to the fridge
  6. When ready to serve, stir the sangria around in the pitcher, then add some ice cubes to each serving glass, add some of the reserved cut apples into the glass, and pour in some sangria, add 1 orange and 1 lemon slice to each glass and serve
  7. Enjoy!

    I plan to try your recipe to celebrate the warmer weather here in Valencia. What locally available brandy do you recommend that is good quality?

    Thanks,

    This is a great recipe! Fresh and lively with a subtle deeper complexity. I’ll be making this one regularly. My local peaches were pretty sad but the available nectarines were good so I subbed some in. Paired well with a sunny patio and some good friends.

    Great!! You have presented an excellent sangria recipe. I love your cooking idea. I learned a nice issues. I could not handle greed to apply your idea. The food color is so nice. Have you used any artificial color? Thanks for your nice sharing.

    I have to say, this sangria looks absolutely delicious! I have a bunch of questions. Can you re-use the fruit to make a second pitcher? How long does it keep once it’s made? Would this be a good use for leftover wine? Or should you use a fresh bottle?

    17 . Feb . 2018

      Yes you can and should use the same fruit in the pitcher to make a second batch, usually the sangria will hold between 24-48 hours in the fridge (otherwise the wines starts becoming dull), I recommend using only new wine, being that the wine is still the star of the recipe, the higher the quality…the better the sangria…thanks for the comment Jeff 🙂
