Cómo preparar una sangría con vino tinto
Sangria, a vibrant and refreshing beverage, is a staple in many Spanish households and has gained popularity worldwide. Made with red wine as its base, this delightful drink is a perfect blend of fruit, spices, and a splash of soda or lemon-lime soda. Whether you’re hosting a party or simply want to enjoy a refreshing glass after a long day, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to prepare a sangría with red wine.
First, gather your ingredients. You’ll need:
– 1 bottle of red wine (such as Tempranillo, Merlot, or Rioja)
– 1 cup of orange juice
– 1 cup of pineapple juice
– 1/2 cup of lemon-lime soda
– 1/2 cup of simple syrup (optional)
– Fresh fruit like oranges, pineapples, apples, and berries
– A handful of mint leaves
– A few slices of lemon and lime
– Ice cubes
Now, let’s move on to the preparation steps:
1. Fill a large pitcher with ice cubes. This will keep your sangría cold and refreshing.
2. Pour the red wine into the pitcher. If you prefer a sweeter sangría, add the simple syrup to taste.
3. Add the orange juice and pineapple juice to the pitcher. Stir well to combine.
4. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed. If you’re using simple syrup, you can add more or less to your preference.
5. Now, it’s time to add the fresh fruit. Slice the oranges, pineapples, apples, and berries into wedges or chunks. Add them to the pitcher, along with the mint leaves.
6. Give the sangría a final stir to ensure all the flavors are well combined.
7. To serve, fill glasses with sangría and garnish with lemon and lime slices. You can also add a few ice cubes if desired.
And there you have it! Your homemade sangría with red wine is ready to be enjoyed. This drink is perfect for any occasion, whether you’re celebrating a special event or just relaxing with friends. Cheers!
