Tio Pepe Sangria Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 bottle of red wine (Spanish Rioja or Tempranillo works well)
- 1 cup brandy
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup simple syrup
- 1 orange, sliced into rounds
- 1 lemon, sliced into rounds
- 1 apple, diced
- 1 pear, diced
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 cup club soda (optional)
Instructions:
- Combine the red wine, brandy, orange juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a large pitcher or punch bowl.
- Add the sliced orange, lemon, apple, and pear to the mixture.
- Stir in the cinnamon sticks and let the sangria sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or up to 24 hours) to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, add the club soda if desired.
- Serve the sangria over ice, garnished with additional fruit slices if desired.
Variations:
- Try adding diced pineapple and mango to the sangria for a tropical twist.
- For a sweeter sangria, increase the amount of simple syrup or add a splash of grenadine.
- To give the sangria a sparkling twist, try using sparkling wine or champagne in place of the red wine.
Tips:
- Don’t be afraid to experiment with different types of red wine to find the one that you like best in the sangria.
- If you don’t have brandy, you can use rum or even vodka as a substitute.
- To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Let the syrup cool before using it in the sangria.
