Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle fruity red wine
- 2 cups (480 mL) pomegranate juice
- ½ cup (120 mL) brandy
- ½ cup (120 mL) triple sec
- ¼ cup (60 mL) simple syrup
- 1 large orange, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 green apple, cored, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 cup (150 g) red grapes, sliced in ½
- ¼ cup (40 g) pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Infusion: Blend pomegranate juice, red wine, brandy, orange liqueur, and sliced fruits in a generously sized glass pitcher, allowing the ingredients to harmonize and create a vibrant flavor profile.
- Marination: Seal the pitcher with a secure lid or plastic wrap, then refrigerate for 4-48 hours to allow the flavors to deeply intertwine and develop complexity.
- Chilling Preparation: Prepare a substantial serving vessel with a thick layer of ice cubes, creating a frosty foundation for the sangria.
- Final Presentation: Stir the chilled mixture thoroughly to redistribute the fruits and ensure consistent flavor, then pour over additional ice in individual glasses, garnishing with fresh fruit slices and serving immediately to capture the drink’s ultimate freshness and aromatic essence.
Notes
- Marinate for Maximum Flavor: Chill the sangria for at least 4 hours, but no longer than 48 hours to let ingredients blend perfectly without losing freshness.
- Ice is Essential: Use 2-3 cups of ice when serving to keep the drink cold and maintain its refreshing character without diluting the rich pomegranate notes.
- Stir Before Serving: Gently mix the sangria just before pouring to redistribute settled ingredients and guarantee a consistent taste in every glass.
- Pitcher Prep Matters: Use a clean, spacious glass pitcher and seal tightly with a lid or wrap to prevent unwanted flavors and maintain ingredient integrity.
