You need a good fruity red wine, any fruit you want but make sure to include orange and lemon slices, brandy, some caster sugar and some sparkling water.





Pour the whole bottle of wine into a big jug and a good glug of the brandy, add the caster sugar to taste.. it should be a bit sweet but still have the bite of the wine to it so add slowy and stir thoroughly everytime, tasting all the way through. Add the chopped fruit. Put in the fridge over night and then when the time comes to serve fill up the glass about 2/3 the way with the sangria and then the rest with ice and sparkling water. Also... put bit more brandy in if you want! Haha!
1 Bottle of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, Zinfandel, Shiraz)


1 Lemon cut into wedges


1 Orange cut into wedges


1 Lime cut into wedges


2 Tbsp sugar


Splash of orange juice


2 Shots of gin


1 Cup of sliced strawberries or raspberries


1 Small can of diced pineapples (with juice)


4 Cups ginger ale


PREPARATION:








Pour wine in the pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the lemon, orange and lime into the wine. Toss in the fruit wedges (leaving out seeds if possible) and add sugar, orange juice and gin. Chill overnight. Add ginger ale and ice just before serving. If you'd like to serve right away, use chilled red wine and serve over lots of ice. However, remember that the best Sangrias are chilled around 24 hours in the frig. - allowing the flavors to really marinate into each other.
