Sangria Compostela Recipes

Steps:

• For the lemon grass syrup: In a small saucepan, combine sugar, chopped lemon grass and 1/2 cup water. Place over medium heat until boiling. Remove from heat and strain syrup, discarding lemon grass. Allow to cool. (May be covered and refrigerated.)
• For the rosemary-infused apple juice: In a blender, combine apple juice and rosemary. Blend for 10 seconds. Pour mixture through a fine strainer, discarding solids, and set aside.
• For the sangria: In a pitcher, combine albariño, sake, lemon juice and club soda. Add the rosemary-infused apple juice and 3 ounces lemon grass syrup; mix well. Garnish and serve straight up or over ice.

Steps:

• In a large pitcher or bowl, mix together the brandy, lemon juice, lemonade concentrate, orange juice, red wine, triple sec, and sugar. Float slices of lemon, orange and lime, and maraschino cherries in the mixture. Refrigerate overnight for best flavor. For a fizzy sangria, add club soda just before serving.

Steps:

• Place the oranges, lemons, limes, pear, kiwi, strawberries, pineapple chunks and juice, and white sugar into a large bowl. Pour the Cointreau, white rum, coconut-flavored rum, and orange juice over the fruit. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Add the red wine, pink lemonade concentrate, lemon juice, and lime juice. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, or overnight.
• Before serving, add the chilled lemon-lime soda. Serve over ice, spooning the fruit into the glass with the liquid. Garnish with an orange slice or maraschino cherries.

Steps:

• Put the chopped fruit in a bowl and sprinkle over the sugar and cinnamon, then stir to coat. Cover and leave to macerate in the fridge for at least 1 hr, or ideally overnight.
• Fill a large jug with ice. Stir the macerated fruit mixture to ensure the sugar is dissolved, then tip into the jug with the wine and brandy. Stir, then top up with the sparkling water and serve.

Steps:

• Have the fruit, rum, wine, and orange juice well chilled. Slice the lemon, lime and orange into thin rounds and place in a large glass pitcher. Pour in the rum and sugar. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours to develop the flavors.
• When ready to serve, crush the fruit lightly with a wooden spoon and stir in the wine and orange juice. Adjust sweetness to taste.
