cooking, baking, and a home in the making

Red Sangria

Hey y’all! I’m in Atlantic City right now for my friend Theresa’s bachelorette party. Since we’re already out celebrating, I figured I’d share this recipe for red sangria with you so that you may also celebrate the fact that it’s almost the weekend. Make a pitcher and share it with some friends tomorrow. Or don’t share, I don’t judge.

Red Sangria Recipe:

1 bottle red wine (I used a Cabernet Sauvignon)
1/2 cup orange liqueur
1 orange – sliced
1 lemons – sliced
1 granny smith apple – cut into small wedges
Handful of rinsed blueberries
Ginger ale

Get all your fruit chopped up and set aside.

Sangria Fruit

Pour your wine into a large pitcher, then drop all the fruit in gently. Stir and let sit for 1 hour or over night.

If you’re adding ginger ale, you’ll want to add it when serving so it stays nice and bubbly. To serve, pour over ice and top with 2-4 ounces of the ginger ale depending on how much you want to dilute it. If you’re going sans the ale, just serve over ice!

If you prefer a white sangria, I have a recipe for that as well!
