Sangria is so agreeable
I say when life gives you strawberries, make sangria!
The good thing about sangria is that it’s not picky. You can use many types of fruit including peaches, mango, apples, grapes, pears, kiwi, oranges, lemons, limes, and even, strawberries. Sangria is wine flexible, too. Red, rose or white wine can be used.
What is Sangria?
Sangria is a wine-based drink with fruit and fruit juices typically combined with brandy or another liquor and topped off with some club soda. Served over ice, it’s a refreshing summer sipper. It’s easy to make, good to share with a crowd or just your sister on the patio.
How to make Sangria
- Combine sugar and water in a microwaveable container. Heat just to a boil, so sugar dissolves. Pour sugar syrup into a glass pitcher, add wine, Calvados, and fruit. Refrigerate at least 4 hours but could be overnight.
- To serve, stir well, pour into glasses, top with a good slash of sparkling water. Garnish with some of the fruit.
The ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 bottle dry white wine (Chablis, Pinot Gris)
- 2 tablespoons Calvados, Cointreau, brandy, or Triple Sec
- 1 cup fruit, use one, two, or three types (grapes, cherries, strawberry, blueberries, or mango, orange, kiwi or peach slices)
- sparkling water
I like a clear, glass pitcher to show off the fruit. You can serve sangria in a wine glass, but I for outside sipping, I like these without a stem. They are less likely to tip over. I mean, you don’t want to waste a drop!
If you like sangria, you might also like an Aperol Spritz. Aperol is an Italian bitter orange liqueur. Mix it with prosecco and soda water add an orange twist and you have one of my favorite cocktails. It tastes best sitting on the canal in Milan!
