Ingredients

  • 1-2 oranges
  • 1-2 lemons
  • 3 oz brandy
  • 3 oz simple syrup
  • 1 bottle red wine

Instructions

  • Thoroughly wash and dry the oranges and lemons. Cut 1 orange and 1 lemon into 1/4" thick slices and place in the bottom of a pitcher or punch bowl. Pour the brandy and simple syrup over the slices and let sit for about 15 minutes.
  • Use a muddler, spoon or potato masher to muddle the fruit, brandy and syrup together. Pour in a bottle of red wine.
  • Pour Simple Red Sangria over ice in wine glasses and garnish with lemon and/or orange slices.

Notes

    • You can use whichever red wine you prefer. I usually use an inexpensive burgundy wine or red blend.
    • When making this for a large gathering, I use a 3 L bottle of Carlo Rossi Burgundy Red Wine, 1 cup of brandy, 1 cup of simple syrup, 2 oranges and 2 lemons.
    • You can prep the fruit, brandy and syrup the day before and refrigerate, covered,  until ready to serve.
