Ingredients

  • 1 bottle fruity red wine, Merlot, Malbec or Pinot Noir are ideal
  • 500ml pomegranate juice
  • 150ml brandy
  • 50ml Cointreau
  • 60ml sugar syrup
  • 100g pomegranate seeds
  • 1 orange
  • 1 apple
  • 1 pear
  • 150g blackberries

Instructions

This new take on Spanish sangría is a great alternative to fizz or cocktails for your party celebrations.

Make the sugar syrup by gently boiling 60g sugar with 60ml of water. Allow it to cool. Pour the wine, pomegranate juice, brandy and Cointreau into a jug. Add the syrup and pomegranate seeds. Slice the apple, orange and pear and add these and the blackberries to the sangría. Chill for at least four hours before serving.

For a festive twist, add a cinnamon stick to the jug too.
