This truly is one of may favorite sangrias. I first tried this at a GFs house when she wanted all the kindergarten moms to meet HULLO! I bet you like it too! Have all ingredients chilled before serving. Ingredients:
1500 ml beaujola red wine, 2 bottles, chilled |
1 cup captain morgan spiced rum, chilled |
1 cup orange juice, chilled without pulp |
1 cup simple sugar syrup (recipe to follow) |
fruit, soaked in rum for one hour (diced apples, oranges, limes) |
6 ounces carbonated lemon-lime beverage |
Directions:
1. Simple sugar: Fill a measuring cup with 1/2 C sugar and fill to 1 C measure with water (=1 C simple sugar) . Stir until sugar is dissolved. It is now ready to use.
2. Note: Optional: if you have time to make simple sugar on the stove top and thoroughly cool before serving, that works well too but is not necessary. Cool & chill.
3. Cut or slice fruits: apples, oranges, limes.
4. One hour prior to serving, place fruit in the pitcher, add wine and let soak for one hour.
5. In a large pitcher combine remaining ingredients.
6. Fill glasses with ice, sangria and a slice of fruit.
