There are many sangria combinations but when I serve this one, I get rave reviews. It has two secret ingredients that will make your party or afternoon lounge on the deck unforgettable. Triple sec adds a smoothness you cannot get with any other liquor and cherries provide a unique taste that sneaks past the citrus.
1/2 c brandy (apricot brandy works well)
1/2 c Cointreau
Juice of 3 lemons
2 oranges slices
1 lemon sliced
1 lime sliced
Sugar to taste
3/4 c pitted cherries
4 c Red wine
1 bottle San Pellegrino
1 can San Pellegrino Limonata
Sangria Directions
Muddle the first 7 ingredients together. Add the cherries and wine. Chill in the fridge for half an hour and add San Pellegrino. Then sit back and enjoy!
