We’ve cooked up a couple of high octane Sangria recipes in the last few days in celebration of summer. Here are the recipes.

Red Sangria:

2 bottles of red wine (preferably dry)
1/4 cup passion fruit vodka
1/2 cup brandy/cognac
3-4 cups of fruit (we used raspberries, cherries, peaches, bananas, strawberries, grapes)
1/2 bottle of POM Pomegranate/Blueberry juice
1/2 cup sugar

Put fruit, vodka, and brandy in a pitcher and soak for a couple of hours, add wine, sugar, and juice. Refrigerate overnight. Add soda to taste if you want to tame it down a bit.

White Sangria:

2 bottles of demi-sec white wine
1/2 cup vodka
1/4 cup brandy/cognac
3-4 cups of fruit (we used apples, peaches, pineapple, grapes)

Same directions as above, except no sugar in this one (the wine is sweet enough).

Obviously, there are millions of Sangria recipes out there. These are just two that I’ve made in the past couple of days. I’m probably going to play with it some more this summer as building various recipes of this versatile summer drink seems like a lot of fun. Stay tuned.
