Ingredients

  • 2 oranges, whole (sliced)
  • 1 lemon, whole (sliced, optional)
  • 2 cups ice cubes
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Place the ice in a lrg pitcher (or 2 as needed). Add the wine plus the remaining ingredients. Stir well & chill in the fridge for a few hrs to intensify the flavors.

  • Step 2: TO SERVE: Decorate glasses w/a slice of orange & a strawberry (optional). Add ice & serve cold.

  • NOTE #1 - SUMOL is a Portuguese product that was "born" in 1954, "a 1 of a kind beverage made from orange juice w/no artificial colors or preservatives, lightly carbonated & w/real fruit pulp! Presented in a distinctive green bottle w/an etched design, the packaging is key to protect SUMOL from heat & sunlight. With SUMOL a refreshing whirlwind of taste & the smell of real fruit invades the Portuguese summer beverages."

  • NOTE #2 - Brandy 1920 is the name of a Portuguese Brandy made & distributed by Carvalho Ribeiro & Ferreira

  • NOTE RE YIELD: Based on 5 oz servings per person = 14 total servings

  • NOTE FROM ME: Altho clearly a part of the recipe, I see no reason to add the ice just so it can melt & likely ruin the sangria IMO. I'd wait until the sangria was well-chilled & then pour it over ice in the glasses.
