Description

Made with a fruity simple syrup, Burgundy wine and brandy….one of the best Sangrias I have ever tasted!

Ingredients

  • 1 Lime
  • 1 Lemon
  • 1 Orange
  • 2 cups Water
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • (1) 1.5 Liter Bottle Of Burgundy Wine
  • ½ cups Brandy
  • 1 cup Ice Water, to taste
  • Ice Cubes

Preparation

Start by making a simple syrup.

Slice the lime, lemon, and orange into paper-thin slices.

In a medium stainless steel (not aluminum) saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil over high heat and cook until sugar dissolves.

Add fruit slices, pressing them into syrup with a wooden spoon until fruit is submerged.

Remove from heat, cover and let stand at room temp 6-8 hours for flavors to mingle.

Remove fruit slices and put syrup in a glass container or pitcher. Add burgundy, brandy, and ice water to taste. Mixture should be smooth tasting, not harsh. Add ice cubes and fruit slices to wine glasses for garnish.
