How to Make a Red Sangria with Bourbon
A red sangria with bourbon is a refreshing and easy-to-make cocktail that is perfect for summer gatherings. The key to making a great red sangria is to use good quality ingredients. For the base, choose a fruity red wine such as a Rioja or Garnacha. For the fruit, fresh is always best but you can also use frozen or canned fruit. The most important thing is to avoid using too much sugar – the fruit should be sweet enough on its own.
To make the sangria, start by adding the wine and fruit to a large pitcher. Then, add a splash of orange juice and a few dashes of Angostura bitters. Stir well and taste. If you want it sweeter, you can add a bit of simple syrup. Once it is to your taste, add a generous pour of bourbon – about 1 cup per bottle of wine. Stir again and refrigerate for at least an hour, or up to overnight.
When you are ready to serve, add a few slices of fresh fruit to each glass. If you want, you can also add a sprig of mint or a splash of club soda. Enjoy!Reference
