STEPS
INGREDIENTS
The ingregients: Ive chosen a Pinot Noir (not as dry) and a coconut rum (changing it up a little...for a traditional taste use regular light rum)
Uncork your wine...screw all the way into the cork
Press the arms down to pull the cork to the top of the bottle
Pull the cork out
Pour the entire bottle into a pitcher (I used a 2 quart pitcher here)
Add your rum (this time I chose to use 1 1/2 cups but I recommend 1 cup)
Time to juice the fruit! 🍊
Cut 2 oranges, 1 lemon and 1 lime in half
Squeeze your oranges until all of the juice has been extracted
2 medium to large oranges should get you approximately 3/4 cup as you can see here
Repeat with the lemon
1 medium to large lemon should yield about 1/2 cup
Again, repeat with the lime
And again, you should get about 1/2 cup from 1 medium to large lime
Get your 1/2 cup of sugar (more or less to taste)
Add the sugar to your Sangria
Stir until the sugar is dissolved
Cut your third orange in half
Cut half of the oranges into nice slices to be places into the pitcher
Cut the second half into wedges to be used on your toothpicks/skewers
Repeat with your second lemon
Hint: remove as many visible seeds as possible ;P
Repeat with your second lime
Place the fruit in the Sangria and give it a light stir
I made these little toothpick garnishes with a marschino cherry on the end to fancy up the wine glasses 😉
Store your garnishes in a small tupperware container in the fridge while the Sangria chills and marinades
Serve on ice in a wine glass and enjoy!
