🌱 Is it suitable for Vegans? Yes

⚖️ Ingredients:
Half a Bottle of Red Wine
A Shot of Cointreau
Lemonade
Granulated Sugar
Red Food Colouring
Apples
Oranges
Pears
Strawberries
Blueberries
Cucumber
📝 Instructions:
Slice Oranges, Pears, Apples and Strawberries and place into a jug/pitcher/large container.
Pour Granulated Sugar into a bowl and add half a bottle of Red Wine (at your discretion). Once added, stir to combine.
Pour a smaller amount of Granulated Sugar into another bowl and add a generous dash of Red Food Colouring, followed by a dash of Still Water, then stir to combine.
Empty the Red Sugar onto a plate or suitable flat surface. Take a glass and turn it upside down, placing it into the sugar and rotating until the rim of the glass is coated.
Pour your sugary Red Wine into the jug/pitcher/large container along with the fruit.
Add a shot of Cointreau.
Add Lemonade.
Top up the jug/pitcher/large container with Ice.
Add any leftover fruit to a cocktail stick or stirrer.
Pour your finished Sangria into the sugar-rimmed glass and complete with your fruit skewer garnish.
Enjoy!
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covering the container with cling film. Your Sangria can be stored for 48-hours, but is most delicious when fresh.
📋 Notes:
We advise you to use a fruity and full-bodied, dry Red Wine (preferably Spanish).
As an alternative to mixing Granulated Sugar with the wine, you could use Brown Sugar instead.
