Summer Sangria

Summer Sangria

We all know of my love for wine. Here's a Sautter original, carefully crafted by my father and passed down to me through every glass poured. 


INGREDIENTS (serves six glasses):

1 bottle of sweet red wine, preferably Merlot
1/2 a red apple 
1/2 an orange
1 cup of orange juice
1 cup of orange seltzer water
3 cups of ice
1/2 cup of Cointreau

1: PREPARE FRUIT

Slice orange so you get perfect circle cuts of orange zest to top in your sangria. Cut apple as you normally would for apple slices. Only use the halves of these fruits per pitcher. They take up a ton of space that you would certainly rather fill with alcohol.

2: ICE

3: WINE

Pour it up, pour it up (in a fancy pitcher).

4: ALL ORANGE EVERYTHING

To dilute the bitterness of the red wine, we add orange flavored everything. Add orange seltzer water for carbonation - which can also be done with Fanta if you're on a budget and no one else is watching you make it. Next, orange juice, for more fruit flavor and a nice color. Then last but certainly not least, Cointreau, a French orange liqueur (triple sec) that will sneak up on you in this mix and is sure to make any dinner party or pool day a little more exciting.

4: STIR AND GET DRUNK

Basically.
