Recipe
Sinister Sangria
Ingredients
- 1 bottle Red wine (approximately 750 ml) (625)
- 1 cup Black cherry juice (130)
- 1/2 cup Brandy (250)
- 1 cup Sliced dark fruits (such as blackberries, plums, and dark cherries) (75)
- 1/4 cup Soda (optional for a lighter version) (0)
Instructions
- Slice the dark fruits (such as blackberries, plums, and dark cherries) and set them aside.
- In a large pitcher, combine the red wine, black cherry juice, and brandy. Stir gently to mix the liquids.
- Add the sliced dark fruits to the pitcher, stirring them into the mixture. The fruits will infuse the drink with their flavors as it chills.
- Cover the pitcher and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together, creating a rich and cohesive taste.
- Just before serving, add the splash of soda to the pitcher if you prefer a lighter, more effervescent sangria. Pour the sangria into glasses over ice, ensuring each glass gets some of the fruit.
- For an extra gothic touch, garnish each glass with a slice of dark fruit or a sprig of mint.
