Bolos Sangria Recipes

FALL SANGRIA

Steps:

• Combine the wine, apple cider, apple and pear brandies, Cinnamon Simple Syrup, cinnamon sticks, Gala and Granny Smith apples, red and green pears, oranges and pomegranate seeds in a large container with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 72 hours. Transfer to a pitcher before serving. Serve in red wine goblets over ice, if desired.
• Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 3 minutes. Transfer the syrup to a lidded container, add the cinnamon sticks and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to 48 hours -- the longer, the more intense the flavor. Remove the cinnamon sticks and save for the sangria.

TROPICAL SANGRIA

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, 1/2 cup water and lemongrass in a medium saucepan over high heat. Cook until the sugar is dissolved. Remove and let steep for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day. Strain and chill.
• Combine the wine, passion fruit nectar, rum, 1/4 cup of the lemongrass simple syrup, and the lemons and oranges in a pitcher. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. The longer it sits the better the flavor. Serve over ice. Garnish with mint sprigs.

TEQUILA SANGRIA

Steps:

• Place the sliced fruit and mint in a large pitcher and use a muddler to mash them together. Add the agave syrup, tequila and lime juice. Stir, and then stir in the white wine. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
• To serve, divide the fruit mixture among 8 glasses. Top each with about 1/4 cup lemon-lime soda and serve immediately.
