This Sangria recipe is a classic, traditional preparation of this fruity wine drink. If you want to try something a little different, check out my Pineapple and Blueberry Sangria.
I make this sangria by the pitcher and serve it at family gatherings, BBQs and any time I need to serve a crowd. It is easy to make and it is even better if you make it ahead so it is perfect for entertaining.
To get started, cut up all your fruit. For this sangria, I used a green apple (just core and cut into slices), a nectarine (pitted and cut into slices), a navel orange (simply cut into slices) and a cup of grapes (cut in half). Put all your fruit into a pitcher.
Cover with the wine, brandy and juice and refrigerate for 24 hours to let all the flavors blend together. Note, I don’t add ice at this point. I don’t want to dilute those flavors.
When I’m ready to serve, I add the ice, pour and enjoy. So simple and oh, so good.
