Step 1: Preparation
Start by washing the fruit. Cut the half apple, orange and lemon into wedges and place in a large carafe. Also add the handful of red forest fruit. This not only ensures a delicious taste, but also gives the sangria a colorful appearance.
Step 2: The Base
Add the chilled red wine to the carafe. Choose one accessible red wine with little tannins. This ensures that the flavors come together well and the sangria doesn't get too heavy. Do you have an older wine that has had its day? Don't throw these away! Just use it for the sangria. The fruit and the other ingredients give the wine a new boost and you can enjoy it to the fullest.
Step 3: The Finishing Touch
Now add the piquette or sparkling wine. This gives the sangria a festive bubble and makes it extra refreshing. Also pour the sparkling water and the grenadine into the carafe. Stir everything gently so that the flavors are well mixed. The sangria is now ready to be served!
Tip: Presentation is important. Serve the sangria in glasses with ice to make it extra cool and refreshing. After pouring, scoop some more fruit into the glasses and garnish with a mint leaf. After all, the eye wants something too!
