I have recently spent the most wonderful 6 days in Southern Spain.
Tapas and Sangria are two of my favourite things. Sangria is a traditional affair, typically
known as the red wine punch.
To create
Spain with sun, sea and Sangria in your very own garden, start with a good
quality red wine. Rioja and other
Spanish red wines are often used as the starting point for this scrumptious drink.
Here’s how
I made this quintessential Spanish cocktail on our balcony in Marbella.
Ingredients
1 x 750ml bottle,
good quality red wine
500ml freshly
squeezed orange juice
30ml
Cointreau orange liqueur
30ml Crème
de Framboise (raspberry liqueur)
1 orange,
thinly sliced
6 large strawberries, halved
1 handful
of raspberries (OR use 1/2 can of fruit cocktail)
Ice
Methods
Layer the
bottom of a 2L jug with ice. Then add the
fruit. Next pour in the wine, orange
juice and liqueurs. Hosting a party this
weekend? For an explosion of fruity
flavours, cool overnight and serve the next day with canapés.
This is a great recipe as I've diluted the alcohol content of this recipe with fresh orange juice, allowing the recipe to go further. It also tastes great and is still an absolute party winner! You won't regret making this.
