SANGRIA - My Favorite Summer Cocktail!!!




Sangria

Red or White both are sublime
Delicious for the summer heat! Careful they’ll sneak up on you!!!


Perfect with Paella Valenciana

RED

  • 2 bottles Cabernet, or any (cheaper) Red you prefer - stay away from sweet.
  • ½ cup Blackberry / Currant/ or Chambord
  • ½ cup Peach Schnapps
  • ½ cup  Brandy or Bourbon
  • Fruit:  Plum, Peaches, seedless Grapes, Green Apples.
Let fruit marinated in mixed liquor for at least 2 hours!
Fill glass with ice, fill 2/3rds with Sangria, add a spoon of the marinated fruit, and top off with Seltzer water. Voila…
Garnish with a plum slice and a cherry! Leave the stem on so people will know to watch for the seeds.

White

  • 2 bottles Dry White Wine
  • ½ cup Peach Schnapps
  • ½ cup Triple Sec or orange flavored liqueur - can finish with a splash of real oj if prefer.
  • ½ cup  Brandy, cognac, or bourbon
  • Fruit: Mango, Peaches, Green Grapes, Green Apple,
  • Seltzer water - for topping off not in the mix.

Fill glass with ice, fill 2/3rds with Sangria,, add a spoon of the marinated fruit,and top off with Seltzer water. Garnish with a lime to finish it!
