Yummy Red Sangria Recipe

Written by Joy Errico Seusing

Who doesn’t love sangria? I am usually a straight up wine drinker but when I have guests over or host a party, I like to do something more festive. This recipe hits the spot. I include all the fruits I like in my sangria, but feel free to switch out with what you like best. Other substitutes--- you can use any fruit juice that you like best in place of pomegranate and you can also change the kind of soda, as long as it is fruit-flavored, ginger ale or Sprite. I hope you love this!

Ingredients

• 3 cups ice cubes
• 1/4 cup lemon slices
• 1/4 cup lime slices
• 1/4 cup orange slices
• 1/4 cup strawberries, cut in fourths
• 1/4 cup seedless grapes, green or red
• 2 cups red wine of your choice (I like Pinot Noir or Malbec)
• 1/2 cup peach brandy
• 1 cup pomegranate juice
• 1 cup orange soda

Directions

This couldn’t be simpler. Put all the ingredients together in a pitcher or punch bowl. Stir and wait 1-2 hours before serving for best results. You can drink it right away if you don’t have time (or don’t want) to wait! Enjoy!
