Ingredients

Scale

Alcohol & Liquids

  • 1 750 ml bottle white wine
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • 1/2 cup triple sec
  • 1/2 cup brandy

Sweetener

  • 1/4 cup sugar

Fruits

  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1 apple, diced
  • 1 orange, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Mix liquids: In a large pitcher, combine the white wine, pomegranate juice, triple sec, brandy, and sugar. Stir well to help the sugar dissolve completely, ensuring the sangria is well sweetened.
  2. Add fruit: Add the pomegranate seeds, diced apple, and orange slices to the pitcher. This infuses the sangria with fresh fruit flavors and adds a festive look.
  3. Chill: Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and let the sangria sit for at least 4 hours. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and develop fully.
  4. Serve: Stir gently before serving, and pour into glasses, including some fruit pieces for garnish. Enjoy chilled.

Notes

  • For best flavor, prepare the sangria the day before serving.
  • Use a dry or semi-dry white wine to balance the sweetness of the juice and sugar.
  • Adjust sugar amount according to your taste preference.
  • Can be made ahead and kept in the fridge up to 24 hours.
  • Optional: Add sparkling water or soda before serving for a fizzy twist.
