🍓 Friday Night Sangria Recipe (Serves 4–6)

What You’ll Need (Pick these up at 104th St. Wine & Liquor):

• 1 bottle of Spanish red wine (Tempranillo or Garnacha are classic)

• 1/4 cup brandy (adds a rich depth)

• 1/4 cup orange liqueur (like Triple Sec or Cointreau)

• 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)

• 1 orange, sliced

• 1 lemon, sliced

• 1 apple, diced

• 1/2 cup orange juice

• 1/2 cup club soda (add just before serving for a little fizz)

• Ice

🥄 How to Make It:

1. Combine the base: In a large pitcher, pour in the wine, brandy, orange liqueur, and orange juice. Stir in the sugar until it dissolves.

2. Add the fruit: Toss in your sliced orange, lemon, and diced apple. Stir again and let the sangria sit for at least 2 hours in the fridge—overnight is even better!

3. Finish it off: Right before serving, add the club soda for that refreshing sparkle. Serve over ice and garnish with extra fruit slices if you’re feeling fancy.
