Sweet Sangria

June 23, 2011 by Lisa Le 3 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Some of you may already know that I’m not the biggest fan of the taste of alcohol. But one of my summer goals was to make some sangria, because its fruity and fun. And why the heck not. So when my local grocery store had tons of fruit on sale, I bought some fruit, some wine, cranberry juice, and VOILA. Sweet sangria!

Now, I’ve had sangria before, sometimes its really wine-y which I’m not a huge fan of, and sometimes it’s really juice-y which also makes it tastes kind of empty… So it was my goal to make it just right. =) Plus, I love the taste of sangria-soaked fruit. I dunno what it is, it just makes them better.

When it comes to choosing wine, I am definitely the last person to ask. I suggest asking the people at the winery you’re buying the wine from. They generally know what they’re talking about. My wine guy suggested a red wine: cabernet sauvignon from California.

Sweet Sangria

Author: Lisa Le

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle of cabernet sauvignon
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 750 mL cranberry juice
  • 1 container of raspberries
  • Half a pint of strawberries hulled and halved

Instructions

  • 1. Wash raspberries and prepare the strawberries. Put them in a clean pitcher (I prefer to use a glass one because plastic absorbs)
    2. Combine all the ingredients
    5. Let this chill in the fridge overnight so the fruit has time to absorb the alcohol, and then enjoy!

    I gather from my red-wine-connoisseur husband that sangria (which he also loves) is the perfect opportunity to use the shittiest red wine you can find.

    Ooh. That would make sense. Mask it with juice and fruit.
