Nailed down a fruity, refreshing recipe for sangria last night using fresh, fleshy and incredibly flavorful strawberries and peaches to make the cool, colorful & crisp drink shown above.
Now, I’ll lay out the recipe with picture highlights right here. But for step-by-step picture book directions, just click any of the photos in this article.
So, here’s what I used for ingredients:
1 Bottle Red Wine (anything hearty like a Zinfindel, Malbec or Cabernet will work fine)
1 Orange
1 Lemon
1 Lime
1 Ripe Peach
4-6 Fresh Strawberries
1 Tablespoon Sugar (you can add more later to taste)
6 Ounces Fruit Juice (I used pineapple juice)
I started by giving all the fruit a quick rinse and shake dry in the sink. I cut the citrus (oranges, lemons & limes) into quarters, then squeezed the juice and put the rinds in a pitcher/bowl and topped them with cut strawberries and peaches. Just a quick note here: the more finely you cut the fruit, the more flavor you’ll get from that fruit.
I added a tablespoon of sugar, a good shot of amber rum (Mt. Gay), 6 ounces fruit (pineapple) juice, the bottle of red wine (I used a Malbec from Argentina).
Then, I stirred it quickly, put the pitcher in the fridge for about an hour both to cool and let the fruit flavors infuse the wine. I chilled some glasses in the freezer and finished off by adding ice to the glasses and topping off with cold drink. Again,… if these directions give you what you need, great.
