Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 tbsp caster sugar (superfine or regular white sugar)
  • 1 small orange (skin on sliced into 8 wedges)
  • 1 small apple (skin on sliced into thin wedges)
  • ¼ cup brandy (NOTE 1)
  • ¼ cup chambord (NOTE 2)
  • 1 cup fresh orange juice (NOTE 3)
  • 750 ml red wine (NOTE 4)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions
 

  • In a large glass or bowl, add in the sugar, orange and apple slices. Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, muddle the sugar and fruits until most of the sugar dissolves. Pour in the brandy and chambord and muddle again to mix. Some of the fruit slices may break but that's okay because you want to squish flavour out from them.
  • Pour in the orange juice and the wine, stir well, then add in some ice cubes (optional) and serve. For the flavours to develop, you can prepare this the night before without the ice cubes and cover it with plastic film.

Notes

(NOTE 1) Brandy or white rum is what they have in most Sangrias. I prefer brandy, but you may use rum if preferred, just swap for equal amounts.
(NOTE 2) Chambord (optional) - Chambord is a liqueur from France made from black raspberry. You may skip this or add other liqueur such as orange (Grand Marnier or Cointreau) for extra depth and flavour.
(NOTE 3) Fresh orange juice - Avoid reconstituted or long-life orange juices. Freshly squeezed juice is more expensive, but it tastes so much better.
(NOTE 4) - The best tasting red sangria helps when you use your favourite bottle of red wine but it doesn’t have to be an expensive bottle. If you don't have a 'go to' red, I would recommend a dry and slightly sweet wine, such as merlot or pinot noir. If you want to keep things traditional, use Spanish wine 'Garnache'.
