Trini Christmas Wine Punch(aka Sangria)



So this morning I am straying a bit from the food and giving you a wonderful wine punch recipe. It’s usually called sangria but I added a few extra ingredients to give it a little kick. For those of you that aren’t too familiar with the drink sangria is a flavourful mixture of wine, fruits and clear carbonated beverage. Its origin is from the beautiful culture of Spain where this mixture was served in special ceramic pitches and drank mostly at large feasts. So here u go readers make enjoy and remember with this one designate a driver.

1 750ml bottle fruity red wine
2litres carton orange juice
1/2 cup brandy
1/2 cup triple sec
1 /2bottle Absolut Vodka
1/8 cup lime juice
2 apples, sliced
2 oranges, segmented
10 grapes
1 2-liter bottle 7-up

Prepare a large pitcher or bowl. Pour in the red wine, orange juice, brandy, triple sec, vodka, lime juice. Add in the apples, oranges and grapes. Let the mixture sit in the fridge for at least two hours and preferably overnight so the fruit flavours all soak into the liquids.

Before serving, add in the 7-up so the bubbles are fresh. Serve over ice. If you have extra fruit, freeze the pieces to act as natural ice cubes.

With the high volume of ingredients in this recipe, I would really not recommend trying to make this in a single serving size.
