"A refreshing drink combining medium-bodied red wine, fresh chopped fruits like orange, lemon, and apple, crystal sugar, and sparkling water. Maceration in the refrigerator extracts the natural juices of the fruits, resulting in a balanced, citrusy, and aromatic cocktail."

Chef Tips

- Wash the lemon and orange peels very well with a small brush before slicing to remove impurities and waxes. - Remove the seeds from the citrus fruits so as not to make the sangria bitter during the maceration period. - Use young and fruity dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, to balance the sugar.

Variations

- Tropical Sangria: add ripe pineapple cubes and fresh mango chunks along with the fruits in the pitcher. - Sangria with Red Berries: fold in sliced strawberries and blackberries to reinforce the ruby tone. - Aromatic Sangria with Liqueur: add a shot of brandy or orange liqueur in the maceration with wine.

Substitutions

- Crystal sugar can be replaced by simple sugar syrup, wild honey, or agave nectar. - Sparkling water can be swapped for lemon-lime soda or tonic water to adjust the acidity. - Dry red wine can be substituted with dry white wine or brut sparkling wine for a clericot style.

How to Store

Keep the sangria without the ice and without the sparkling water in a covered pitcher in the refrigerator for up to twenty-four hours. Carbon dioxide and ice should be added only at the time of serving to prevent the drink from becoming watery and losing effervescence.

Can You Freeze It?

It is not recommended to freeze sangria with gas and fruits, as the slices soften and release excessive water upon thawing. If there is leftover wine base with sugar without gas, freeze in ice cube trays for up to sixty days to use as flavored ice cubes.

What to Serve With

Pair with a board of assorted appetizers, crispy tapioca cheese sticks, toasted salted nuts, and fried codfish balls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best type of wine to prepare sangria?

Prefer young, fruity, and balanced acidity dry red wines, avoiding very tannic or heavy woody labels.

Why shouldn't I add the ice and sparkling water before maceration?

The ice melts and dilutes the flavor of the drink, while the water loses its carbon dioxide bubbles while resting in the refrigerator.

Can I prepare the sangria with sweetener instead of sugar?

Yes, add drops of culinary sweetener to taste directly into the jar, adjusting the sweetness according to the acidity of the fruits.

How to prevent the apple from darkening in the jar?

When cutting the apple into cubes, mix it immediately with the wine and the juice of the lemon slices; the acidity blocks the oxidation of the fruit.
