"Classic Sangria" .. The Traditional Summertime Sipper!

The last few weeks we've taken you from the rolling hills of Tuscany to your favorite produce market in search of that perfect summertime treat .. Sangria! This week we're sticking to the basics .. Sangria basics that is! 

The beauty of the "Classic Sangria" recipe is that it is as delicious as it is easy, and it only gets better as you spice it up with your own flair and flavors. Start with my simple recipe and add anything you want!

Classic Sangria

One 750 ml bottle of dry red wine. 
1/2 cup brandy 
1/4 cup honey
2 cups ginger ale or club soda
1/2 cup sliced oranges
1/2 cup sliced lemons 
Strawberries for garnish (optional)

Pour wine in the pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the lemon and orange into the wine. Toss in the fruit wedges (leaving out seeds if possible) and add sugar and brandy. Chill overnight. Add ginger ale or club soda just before serving.
