TRADITIONAL RED SANGRIA

Steps:

• Slice all of your fruit.
• Add half of the sliced fruit to a pitcher. Mash lightly to release juices.

• Allow to steep for at least an hour. Six hours is ideal.
• Add the remainder of the fruit to the sangria when you are ready to serve it. Also, optionally add ice.

BEST RED SANGRIA

Steps:

• To prepare the orange, slice it in half from the stem end downward. Squeeze the juice of one-half of the orange into a pitcher. Thinly slice the remaining orange half and place the slices into the pitcher.
• Add the prepared seasonal fruit and lemon. Add the brandy and 1 tablespoon of the maple syrup. Pour the wine into the pitcher and stir to combine. Taste, and add another tablespoon of maple syrup if it's not sweet enough for your liking.
• You can serve this sangria immediately, or let it marinate for 2 to 8 hours for more fruity flavor. Serve in wine glasses with a few ice cubes to keep it chilled. Enjoy!
