How to Make Sangria

| 0 comments

Sangria for me reminds me of Christmas. Every Christmas Eve  my dad makes a big bucket of sangria. We then spend hours at the dinner table eating and drinking sangria.
Sangria is a drink to be shared with family and friends. It’s perfect for parties, dinner parties and pre-drinking with your friends.

I had my girlies round last weekend and as a pre-night out drinking we had some delicious home made Sangria.

Sangria Recipe

Ingredients for Sangria

This recipe makes around 5-6 litres of sangria, enough for 5-6 people. Adapt the recipe according to the occasion.

  • 3 Bottles of red wine. I would say don’t buy anything that costs more than £5 per bottle its just not worth it however, you don’t want to buy the smart value stuff either.
  • 3 Litres of lemonade
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 3 medium sized apples cut into pieces
  • 3 medium sized oranges cut into pieces
  • a handful of mint leaves
  • 2 shots of whisky

Method for my Sangria Recipe;

  1. Pour all the wine and the lemonade into a big bowl
  2. add the cinnamon sticks and the mint
  3. Then finally add the fruit, the apples and orange

  4. Add the two shots of whisky and mix everything
  5. Taste the sangria, if you feel is too strong add a little bit more of lemonade. Or if you think is too weak add a little more wine.
  6. Taste and share!
