Sangria is the easiest party drink to make—wine, fruit, brandy, and time. Letting the fruit macerate in the wine for several hours develops deep, complex fruity flavors.
Combine wine, brandy, orange juice, and sugar in a large pitcher. Stir until sugar dissolves.
Add sliced orange, apple, and lemon to the pitcher.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
When ready to serve, stir in sparkling water and taste for sweetness.
Serve over ice in wine glasses with fruit in each glass.
Serve with crusty artisan bread for dipping
Finish with a drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil
Pair with a simple arugula salad dressed in lemon vinaigrette
Arrange on a platter for easy sharing at your next gathering
Different flavor profiles but both work well
Lighter and more refreshing for summer
