For summer sippin nothing beats a cold glass of Sangria.
Here are two recipes you’ll love. The red Sangria has a hint of cinnamon and the Blackberry is a sweeter version rich with berries.
This is one of my absolute favorite drinks, a fruity Sangria with a little splash of cinnamon. Delicious! It’s easy to make, but it does work best with a particular brand of Sangria mix. Monin makes a few different kinds of Sangria mix, this recipe calls for the Red.
Sangria
1 1/2 liters red wine
2 1/4 cups orange juice
1 1/4 cups Monin Red Sangria mix
5 oz. brandy
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix the cinnamon in a couple of teaspoons of warm wine to ensure it does not clump up as you mix it with the rest of the ingredients. Mix all ingredients together and chill. Serve cold or over ice with lemon and orange slices.
Blackberry Sangria
1 1/2 liters any sweet red Italian wine
14 ounces cranberry juice (not cranberry cocktail)
14 ounces Monin Blackberry Sangria mix
6 ounces Tuaca Italian liqueur (vanilla citrus liqueur)
Mix all ingredients together and chill. Serve cold or over ice with a few fresh blackberries.
