Equipment
- Large Glass Pitcher
- Wooden Spoon
Ingredients
Wine & Spirits
- 1 bottle Moscato wine 750ml, chilled (pink or white)
- 1/4 cup brandy or triple sec optional
- 1 cup club soda or lemon-lime soda chilled
Fruits & Sweeteners
- 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced
- 1 orange thinly sliced
- 1 lemon thinly sliced
- 1 lime thinly sliced
- 1 peach or nectarine pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup simple syrup adjust to taste
For Serving
- ice cubes
- fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Wash all fruits thoroughly under cold water. Slice the strawberries, orange, lemon, lime, and peach into thin, attractive pieces.
- Pour the chilled Moscato wine into a large glass pitcher. Add the brandy or triple sec if using, and the simple syrup. Stir gently to combine.
- Gently add all the prepared fruit slices to the wine mixture. Press them down lightly with a wooden spoon to ensure they're submerged.
- Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight to allow flavors to meld and develop.
- Just before serving, add the club soda or lemon-lime soda and stir gently to incorporate.
- Pour into ice-filled glasses, making sure each glass gets a good portion of the soaked fruit. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Notes
For a less alcoholic version, replace the brandy with orange juice.
Store your sangria in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in a tightly sealed container.
You can use frozen fruits instead of fresh - they'll help chill the sangria without diluting it.
