Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Wash all fruit thoroughly. Slice citrus fruits thinly to avoid bitterness. Halve grapes and slice strawberries and cucumber as noted. Tear basil leaves gently.
- Macerate the fruit (optional): Combine sliced fruit with sugar or simple syrup and liqueurs in each pitcher. Let sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the wine: Pour chosen bottle of wine over the macerated fruit mixture in each pitcher. Stir gently to combine flavors without breaking fruit.
- Chill: Refrigerate pitchers for at least 2 hours, preferably 4 or overnight to allow flavors to meld and sangria to cool.
- Before serving: Add soda water, lemon-lime soda, or sparkling water to each pitcher for fizz. Stir gently and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Serve: Fill glasses with ice, pour sangria over, and garnish with fresh fruit slices or herbs from the pitcher.
Notes
Use good-quality dry wines you enjoy. Macerate fruit with sugar and liqueurs to enhance flavor. Add carbonation just before serving to keep fizz lively. Adjust sweetness to taste. Keep wine and fruit chilled before mixing to avoid dilution. Sangria can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours without soda; add carbonation before serving.
