[Molly Jo]

I have a customer who is looking for the Sangria recipe that uses the QSP to mix it. She said it has fruit and Merlot in it. Thanks for any help.

She's probably thinking of the basic Sangria, but the Party Sangria has a bit more of a kick to it!!!


Sangria


1 750-ml bottle of chilled White Zinfandel
1/2 cup peach schnapps
2 tablespoons Cointreau or other orange liqueur
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
1 lemon, sliced
1 orange, sliced
1 peach, sliced into wedges
1 10-ounce bottle of chilled club soda
Ice cubes


Mix first 8 ingredients in tall pitcher. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Mix in club soda. Fill 6 wineglasses with ice cubes. Pour sangria over ice and serve.



Basic Sangria

3 1/4 cups ( 26 fl. oz) dry red wine
1 tablespoon sugar
Juice of 1 large orange
Juice of 1 large lemon
1 large orange, sliced thin crosswise
1 large lemon, sliced thin crosswise
2 medium peaches, peeled, pitted and cut into chunks
1 cup (8 fl. oz) club soda
Combine all the ingredients except for the club soda in a large punch bowl or serving pitcher, mixing well. Refrigerate overnight. Inmediately before serving, mix in the club soda for added fizz. Ladle into cups with ice cubes.

Party Sangria

Another recipeI went to a cooking show last weekend...the host had made sangria but it was much more basic:

2 bottles white merlot
1 liter (I think) Sprite
sugar or simple syrup to taste
lemon juice (to keep fruit from turning)

Then she sliced apples and added blackberries to make it pretty. I think I'm going to give this to my hosts to use! Very easy and keeps the mood flowing It made me want to buy lots of stuff!

The list of multiple sangria recipes sound like those will be the most "authentic" tasting. I had a guest at a show bring her VERY easy sangria recipe to the show and I replicated it for the 4th of July. It's definitely not authentic, but it's easy and you can do it in the quick stir pitcher.

1 bottle of merlot or cabernet
1 little tub thing of Crystal Light Lemonade
cut up fruit (I did different kinds of apples and used the US&G for lemons and limes)

I found this a little too sweet, so then I added some of that fruity flavored sparkling water. This wasn't too bad and passed as sangria.
