Outback Blackberry Sangria Recipe
This Outback Blackberry Sangria Recipe blends red wine, blackberry brandy, and fresh juices for the perfect crowd-pleasing cocktail.
Equipment
- One big pitcher (2-quart and larger)
- Wooden spoon for stirring
- Measuring cup
- Wine glasses
- Optional: cocktail shaker in case you are willing to make single-serving mixtures.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle Red wine (750 ml, dry Spanish red such as Tempranillo or Garnacha is fine)
- ½ cup Blackberry brandy
- 1 cup Cranberry juice
- 1 cup Pineapple juice
- 2-3 tablespoons Simple syrup or sugar (to taste)
- 1 cup Fresh blackberries
- 1 large Orange slices (orange, cut into rounds)
- 1 large Slices of lemon ( lemon cut into rounds)
- Ice cubes – as needed
Instructions
1: Mix the Base
- Add the red wine, blackberry brandy, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and simple syrup to your pitcher. Stir well to blend.
2: Add the Fruit
- Add fresh blackberries, orange slices, and lemon slices. This not only adds flavor, but it also makes the beverage look beautiful.
3: Chill
- Refrigerate and cover the pitcher for at least 2 hours. Even better is the night-time--then the fruit is steeped and all the juices come out.
4: Serve
- Add ice to glasses, pour in sangria, and ensure that each glass receives a portion of fruit. Serve with additional blackberries or a slice of citrus, should you feel like it.
