✅Spiced Red Sangria:
1 750 ml bottle of Dry Red Wine
6 oz. (3/4 cup) of Spiced Simple Syrup
4 oz. (1/2 cup) of Spanish Brandy
3 oz. (3/8 cup) of Torres Gran Orange Liqueur or Cointreau
Cinnamon Sticks (optional garnish)
✅Sangria Fruit:
2 Oranges, sliced into small wedges
2 Pears, cut into small cubes
2 Granny Smith Apples, cut into small cubes
6 oz. (3/4 cup) of Simple Syrup
6 oz. (3/4 cup) of Triple Sec
4 oz. (1/2 cup) of Brandy
✅Spiced Simple Syrup:
2 cups of Water
2 cups of Sugar
3 Cinnamon Sticks
8 Allspice Berries
6 Cloves
10 Black Peppercorns
1 tsp Red Chili Flakes
3 whole Star Anise
✅Spiced Red Sangria:
Macerate fruit pieces in syrup, triple sec and brandy (at least four hours and preferably overnight). Keep covered and refrigerated until ready to serve. When finished, fruit should be a bit “soupy” from the juices being drawn out. Mix wine, simple syrup, brandy and orange liqueur. This is the base wine product for the sangria. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
To serve, add macerated fruit to wine mix. Gently stir. Fill glasses with ice. Scoop 2 tablespoons of the fruit and their juices and one cinnamon stick over the ice. Pour wine mix into glasses and serve!
✅Spiced Simple Syrup:
To make simple syrup: bring all ingredients to a boil while stirring constantly. Strain solids from liquid. Discard spices. Set liquid aside to cool completely before serving.
