Equipment

  • Deciliter Measure
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Glass jug

Ingredients

  • 1 pcs. Lemon
  • 1 pcs. Orange
  • 1 pcs. Peaches
  • 1 pcs. Apples
  • 0.5 dl Brandy
  • 2 dl Orange Juice freshly squeezed
  • 0.5 dl Sugar
  • 1 pcs. Cinnamon Stick
  • 750 ml Red Wine preferably Spanish!
  • Ice Cubes
  • Sparkling Water optional

Instructions

  • Slice the orange and lemon into rounds and then halve the slices.
  • Place half the orange slices and half the lemon slices into a glass pitcher. Set the remaining slices aside.
  • Cut the peach and half an apple into smaller pieces.
  • Add all the peach pieces to the pitcher but only half of the apple pieces. Set the remaining half apple aside. Optionally, squeeze a little lemon juice on the cut surface to prevent browning if it will be a while before serving.
  • Pour the brandy into the pitcher along with the orange juice and sugar.
  • Use a large spoon (preferably wooden) to press and mix the contents of the pitcher, releasing the fruit juices. Mix everything well.
  • Now add the cinnamon stick and red wine (I personally prefer Rioja!). I usually place the pitcher in the refrigerator for about 2 hours so the flavors can really develop, but you don't have to if you can't wait.
  • Just before serving, stir the pitcher and add ice cubes to each glass.
  • Cut the remaining half apple into smaller pieces and distribute them into the glasses.
  • Pour the sangria into the glasses and optionally add a splash of sparkling water.
  • Garnish each glass with an orange slice and a lemon slice.
