Welcome, everyone! As summer approaches, what better way to cool off and unwind than with a refreshing and sweet sangria? Today, I am excited to share with you a fantastic recipe that not only tastes amazing but is also perfect for sharing with friends and loved ones. Let's dive into how to create this delicious summer treat!
First things first, let's gather our ingredients. For this delightful sangria, you'll need:
- 1 bottle (750ml) of pink wine (rosé).
- 1 can (250ml) of Sprite
- 2-3 shots of White Rum (optional/ it adds a nice kick without altering the other flavors)
- A selection of fresh fruits such as grapefruit, limes, blueberries, strawberries, and green apples.
For an alcohol-free version, skip the white rum and use alcohol-free wine. It will still be refreshing and delicious!
Now that we have all our ingredients ready, let's move on to the preparation.
- Now that we have all our ingredients ready, let's move on to the preparation.
- The first step is to chop and slice the fresh fruits. Make sure to slice the grapefruit, lemons, strawberries, and green apples into bite-sized pieces for easy enjoyment in every sip of our sangria.
- After chopping the fruit, we can transfer them into a large pitcher.
- Next, we'll pour in our entire bottle of pink wine. This will infuse the sangria with delicious fruity flavors and vibrant colors.
- Then, it's time to add our other ingredients: Pour in the can of Sprite, followed by our two to three ounces of White Rum.
- Gently mix everything together using a mixing spoon.
- Remember, it's best to avoid adding ice directly to the pitcher to prevent diluting the drink. Instead, consider serving the sangria over ice in individual cups just before serving. And there you have it! Our delicious sangria is now ready to be enjoyed. With its vibrant colors and refreshing flavors, it's sure to be a hit at any gathering.
So sit back, relax, and savor every sip. Cheers and enjoy!
