World Flavours: From Spain, MIXED BERRY SANGRIA

Spain always reminds us of Sun, good food and cold drinks with friends. So after we've shared the Paella recipe (one of the classic dishes you must try when visiting Spain), we have to share this Mixes Berry Sangria to go with it.

There are different recipes for sangria, and they're all very simple to make, but we love this one. This Mixed Berry Red Wine Sangria is made with red wine, brandy, orange juice, fresh or frozen berries! Perfect refreshing summer drink for a party!

Sangria is one of those things that you hardly need a recipe for – or even a particularly good red wine!

We do have a few slight twists we like use for our own sangria recipe. We like to add berries, like blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries. While apples and oranges are more traditional,we find berries infuse more flavor and color into the wine.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 tablespoons sugar

• 1 orange, cut into chunks, seeds removed

• 1 1/4 cups mixed berries, fresh or frozen, such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries

• 1 750-ml bottle red wine

• 1/3 cup brandy

• 3/4 cup orange juice

• Extra fruit for garnish (optional)

• Soda water or blood orange soda (optional)

METHOD

1 Muddle the fruit with sugar: Place sugar, orange chunks, and berries into a pitcher and smash with a wooden spoon or a muddler to release some of the juices and break up the fruit a little bit. 2 Add the red wine, brandy, and orange juice and steep for about 5 minutes or up to 2 hours. The flavors will mellow and improve the longer you can wait before serving. 3 Pour into glasses filled with ice and extra fruit. If you prefer a very clear sangria with no fruit pulp, pour the sangria through a strainer when serving. If you want, add some soda water or a little blood orange soda (I like blood orange San Pellegrino) to your sangria for some bubbles and a little extra pizzaz.

And that's it!

Now it's your turn!
