Sangria - The World's
Best
Ingredients:
1.5 L Red wine
(Cabernet Sauvignon)...... 1 cup Sugar...... 3-4 oz plain Brandy...... 1
large Lemon, sliced...... 1 large Orange, sliced......1 large Apple
, cut into thin sections.
Mixing instructions:
Mix these altogether in a
large container, stir, and let sit for 18-24 hours. Yes, I know that's a
LONG time, but it's well worth the wait. A much more delightful sangria is
produced when the fruit juice blends with the wine by osmosis than by
stirring. (By the way, you should let it sit in the refrigerator during
this long interim). When you are ready to drink it 18-24 hours later, stir
it up again, and add sugar or brandy to taste, it should be fairly strong
and fairly sweet, almost syrupy. Then, cut the mixture with some sort of
bubbly water, orange or lemon flavored if possibly, but plain bubbly water
is fine, until it seems to have a thinner, more wine like consistency.
