On the Rocks: Sangria.
Another thing in honor of spring finally deciding to stick around for good: Sangria! It just begs to be sipped outside on a warm evening.
Ingredients:
– 2 bottles + 2 cups of inexpensive red wine
(ex. Charles Shaw from Trader Joe’s)
– 5 cans Pellegrino Limonata
– 2 1/2 cups Dark Rum
– 1 cup Cointreau (or Triple Sec)
– 1/2 cup Apple Schnapps
– 4 tsp sugar
– Ice
– Chopped fruit (apples, oranges, lemons – use what’s in season)
– Cinnamon Sticks
Fill a large pitcher or punch bowl 2/3 full with ice. Add wine and Pellegrino Limonata. Add in liquors, fruit, sugar, and cinnamon sticks. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon. Test taste. If not sweet enough add another tablespoon of sugar. If it tastes too much like liquor add more Pellegrino Limonata. If it is too sweet add more wine.

March 28, 2008 at 5:19 pm…add another tablespoon of sugar
Is that correct, when the recipe asks for 4 teaspoons total?
