Forget that “cheap red wine with an old orange thrown in” drink that is unpleasant and sickly – here is the recipe for the best Sangria I have ever tasted…..
Chill a jug.
Pour equal measures of:
Cointreau
Martini / Vermouth
A dash of whisky peach
A can of orange/lemon fanta.
This – with the ice – should ¾ fill your jug. Top up the rest with two spoons of sugar and red wine.
Fruit – only if you have time for it to ferment for at least half a day and give extra flavour – oranges and apples.
Take out onto a sunny terrace, stir with a long wooden spoon, pour and admire the view.
