Barefoot Contessa Sangria Food

ROSE SANGRIA

Steps:

• Combine the rose, pomegranate juice, lemon juice, sugar, Grand Marnier, Cognac, 1 cup of water, and 1 cup of ice in a large glass pitcher. Stir in the raspberries, strawberries, and plums, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
• When ready to serve, fill wine goblets or highball glasses halfway with ice. Pour the sangria over the ice, spooning some of the macerated fruit into each glass. Serve ice cold.

WHITE SANGRIA

Steps:

• In a large pitcher, combine the ingredients. Stir and let sit for at least 2 hours, refrigerated. Serve plain, over ice, or with soda water.

FALL SANGRIA

Steps:

• Combine the wine, apple cider, apple brandy, pear brandy, Cinnamon Simple Syrup and fruits in a large container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 72 hours. Transfer to a pitcher before serving. Serve in red wine goblets over ice, if using.
• Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 3 minutes. Transfer the syrup to a container with a lid, add the cinnamon sticks and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to 48 hours. The longer it sits, the more intense the flavor. Remove the cinnamon sticks and save to add to the sangria mixture.

UNWIND SANGRIA

Steps:

• Combine the peaches, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries in a serving pitcher. Add the wine and rum. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until ready to serve. (The flavors get better as they stand.)
