A whole lot of flavor in one glass. This recipe combines my favorite beverages; Pinot Noir and Kentucky’s finest spirit, Bourbon. Add in apples, oranges, and strawberries and you have a perfect Sangria to serve to friends at your next tailgate or Holiday party.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Kentucky Bourbon
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup small apple wedges, I prefer Honeycrisp
1/2 cup small orange wedges
1/2 cup sliced strawberries
1 bottle Pinot Noir
1/4 cup orange liqueur
1 and 1/2 cups orange juice, no pulp
1 - 8.45 oz bottle tonic or club soda
DIRECTIONS
- In a glass pitcher, add bourbon and sugar, stir until sugar is dissolved. Add in fruit and allow to chill for at least an hour.
- To pitcher add in wine, orange liqueur, orange juice, stir to combine. Right before serving stir in club soda.
- Add a spoonful of soaked fruit into individual wine glasses, I prefer stemless, pour Sangria into glass, top with additional club soda if desired. Cheers.Enjoy your Sangria with some of my favorite appetizers. Pecan Cheese Wafers and Figgy Piggies in a Blanket are tasty additions to your celebration.
