Ian’s Spanish Sangria

Happy hump day ya'll!!

Today I am sharing with you my brother and sister-in-law's favorite sangria recipe. They went to Spain and took a class on how to make Sangria. At the end of the class, they drank A LOT of sangria and left with a copy of the recipe. They made it for my family over the 4th of July Holiday and everyone loved it (not me of course...HA!) so I thought I would share it here! Enjoy!!


Here is the cute couple prepping the ingredients...LOTS of ingredients...mostly alcohol!! HA HA!


Here is my sister-in-law cutting up the fruit...you use one lemon and one orange sliced into thin rings...

Put that into a large glass pitcher...all they had was a trifle bowl but it worked!!! HA! Add ice!


Get a good sniff of the brandy ...


and then add 100 ml of it to the bowl...


Then add a half of a liter of red wine...cheap red wine is fine!

Then add 100ml of vodka and 100 ml of peach schnapps...


Then 100ml of apple schnapps...




Top off with fizzy orange and fizzy lemon soda...I think they put about 100ml of each in.


And that's it! Mix all together and serve!!


Little pose with their finished product!


Here is the official recipe...


I am adding this fun shot of my sister to the end...maybe she had one too many Sangria's as she was very happy to let me put a watermelon sticker on her forehead and get a picture - HEE HEE!  Just kidding - I love my family for humoring me ...this is actually my sister making her FAMOUS mac and cheese for the family one night...yum!!! I will save that recipe for another time!


Have a fantastic day and week! Now I am off to catch up on everyone else's blogs!

Do you drink alcohol? What is your favorite drink? Ever have Sangria? Do you like to take classes when traveling or just relax?
