Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 bottle of red wine 750 ml
- 1 orange sliced
- 1 blood orange sliced (optional)
- 1 lemon sliced
- Ice cubes
- 1 cup of lemonade about 240 ml
Instructions
- Add the whole bottle of wine and lemonade into the pitcher. Mix well to combine.
- Prep the oranges and lemons, slicing. Place in the pitcher. Add ice if you are serving right away, or add ice to each glass.
- Pour the red wine cocktail and garnish with orange or lemon wedges, rosemary sprigs, or any other garnish of choice.
Notes
- Wine - Using quality red wine is key as it is going to be the biggest flavor in the drink.
- Lemonade - Fresh lemonade works great for this recipe, whether you make it homemade or buy it.
- Ice - Only add ice if you are serving right away. The ice will melt and dilute the drink, so don't add till you are ready.
- Fruit - Toss in other fruit for additional flavor if you want. Strawberries, raspberries, and grapefruit are all great options.
- Garnish - You can garnish with sliced fruit, rosemary, mint, etc.
- Muddle Fruit - Taking a wooden spoon and pressing on the orange and lemon slices will release the juice into the drink helping to create more flavor to your wine sangria.
