Equipment

  • 1 Large pitcher or punch bowl
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Sharp knife
  • 1 Measuring cup or jigger
  • 1 Stirring spoon
  • 6 Cocktail or wine glasses

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Bottle Red wine (750ml) Generally we recommend using a low cost but dry red wine as the fruit in the rest of the recipe will take away from most of the nuances of the wine, but this is a personal preference
  • 1 Handle Brandy (1.75 Liters, use sparingly)
  • 0.5 Liter Pomegranate Juice
  • 0.5 Liter Orange Juice
  • 3 Oranges Sliced with seeds removed
  • 3 Pomegranates Seeds Adjust number of seeds to personal preference
  • 6 Sticks Cinnamon For garnish

Instructions
 

  • Combine Liquids: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, mix together the red wine, brandy, pomegranate juice, and orange juice.
  • Prepare Fruits: On a cutting board, slice the oranges into rounds or wedges, making sure to remove any seeds. Extract the seeds from the pomegranates.
  • Add Fruits: Add the orange slices and pomegranate seeds to the pitcher.
  • Stir and Infuse: Use a stirring spoon to mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Cover the pitcher and place it in the refrigerator for at least one hour. This allows the flavors to meld and the fruits to infuse their essence into the liquid.
  • Garnish and Serve: Before serving, give the sangria a good stir to distribute the flavors evenly. Pour into cocktail or wine glasses and garnish each with a cinnamon stick for that extra touch of autumnal warmth.

Notes

The brandy in this recipe adds a layer of complexity and warmth, but it's important to use it judiciously. Its strong flavor can easily dominate the sangria, so adjust the quantity based on your preference and the size of your pitcher.
