Recipe: Fruity Burgundy Sangria
Summary: A refreshing wine punch starts with classic Gallo Hearty Burgundy and includes seasonal fruit — perfect with anything casual that begs to be eaten in the back yard.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle (1.5L) Gallo Family Vineyards Hearty Burgundy red wine
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup vanilla-flavored syrup (I used Heilala Vanilla Syrup)
- 1/2 cup brandy (optional)
- 1 orange, thinly sliced in half moons, or use tangerine segments
- 1/2 lime, thinly sliced in half moons
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher and stir to combine. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving (better if you do it for several hours!), to meld flavors.
- To serve, pour into ice cube-filled red wine glasses, making sure to put slices of orange and lime, and other seasonal fruit, in each glass.
- Makes 10 servings.
Variations
- You may also put in whatever other seasonal fruit you have around, such as fresh berries, peach slices, a fresh mango spear or fresh cut pineapple chunks. Today I used strawberries and blackberries. Let the seasons guide you.
- To make it even lighter, mix with some sparkling water in each glass at serving time
