Step 2

Mix & Infuse the Flavors
Put the red wine, brandy, orange juice, and sweetener in a big pitcher.
Add the sliced citrus fruits and berries.
Chill, covered, for a minimum of 2 hours (or overnight) to enable the flavors to combine.

Shortly before serving, stir in the club soda (for a gentle fizz).
Fill glasses with ice, add the sangria over, and garnish with more fruit slices.
Cheers! 🥂 Enjoy drinking your homemade sangria!

Pro Tips for the Best Cauliflower Steaks

✔ Use Good Wine – Medium-bodied red with fruit flavors works best (avoid very tannic wines).
✔ Let It Chill – Sangria will be optimal after a few hours of chill time in the fridge, so flavors can meld.
✔ Sweeten to Taste – Add honey or simple syrup based on your taste.
✔ Add some Sparkle – Top with soda when serving for a bubbly flair!
✔ Try White Sangria – Use white wine instead of red and use peaches & apples to create a lighter version.

🍍Tropical Sangria – Add chunks of pineapple & coconut rum for a tropical flavor.
