Big-Batch Red Sangria

Pin RecipePrint Recipe
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 4 hours 15 minutes
Makes 20 servings, about 5 oz each

Ingredients

  • 2 750 ml bottles dry red wine, such as rioja or tempranillo
  • 1 cup brandy
  • 1/2 cup orange liqueur
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 oranges sliced
  • 2 apples cored and diced
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries
  • 2 cups chilled club soda

Instructions

  • In a large pitcher, combine the red wine, brandy, orange liqueur, and sugar; stir until the sugar fully dissolves.
  • Add the sliced oranges, diced apples, and berries.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, so the fruit softens and the wine mellows (taste at the 4 hour mark; it should taste fruity, not sharp or boozy).
  • Just before serving, stir in the chilled club soda for a light fizz.
  • Pour over ice into wine glasses, spooning a bit of the soaked fruit into each one.

Good to Know

Double the fruit and sugar and halve the soda if the party runs long; the sangria only improves sitting another few hours in the fridge.
