Sangria Iii Recipes

SANGRIA III

Steps:

• • Bring sugar and water to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then boil over moderately high heat 5 minutes. Cool syrup to room temperature and pour over fruit in a small bowl. Chill, covered, 4 hours.
• • Drain fruit in a large sieve set over another bowl and reserve fruit and syrup separately.
• • Fill a large glass pitcher one-fourth full with ice and add wine, fruit, and 1 cup syrup (save leftover syrup for another use). Stir wine, gently mashing fruit with a wooden spoon, then add sparkling water to taste, starting with 1 cup.
• • Serve sangría in wineglasses with 1 or 2 slices of fruit in each glass.

SANGRIA! SANGRIA!

Steps:

• In a large pitcher or bowl, mix together the brandy, lemon juice, lemonade concentrate, orange juice, red wine, triple sec, and sugar. Float slices of lemon, orange and lime, and maraschino cherries in the mixture. Refrigerate overnight for best flavor. For a fizzy sangria, add club soda just before serving.
