Sangria goes with summer. Sangria is what wine coolers wish they were - sweet, spicy, cold, fruity, and delicious. Don't go with the super cheap wine for this; a good dinner wine with some character will show in the final product.
- A bottle of dark red wine - traditionally Rioja (Tempranillo); I like Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah as well as Tempranillo. Something dark and spicy.
- 1/2 cup of brandy
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1 lime, sliced
- 1 cup plain seltzer water
- ice
Chill wine for at least 2 hours in the fridge. Combine everything but seltzer in a punchbowl or pitcher (recipe doubles easily) and stir until sugar is dissolved, then add seltzer and stir. Serve in cups, glasses, or whatever (and make sure everyone gets a piece of fruit).
