Ingredients

2 Shots Vodka or Bacardi
1 bottle Prosecco
250 ml orange juice
250 ml cranberry juice
2 oranges sliced
1 green apple sliced
1 pomegranate or pack of seeds
A few sprigs of mint or rosemary to garnish

Instructions

Cut up the oranges and apples into slices.
Add one of the oranges and the apple into a pitcher.
Using a wooden spoon push down on the fruit to extract some of the juices. Don't over do it because the fruit will become mushy.
Add a good handful of ice.
Pour in the Vodka or Bacardi, Prosecco and juice. Stir to combine.
Add a sprinkle of fresh pomegranate seeds.
Place into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes to an hour.
Serve over ice with a slice of orange, sprig of mint and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds.

Notes

I always use either Vodka or Bacardi in sangria, which is what I often have on hand. This is personal preference but the beauty of sangria is that you can experiment with the flavours you enjoy.

I love using any fresh, in season fruits but frozen will work well too if fruit is limited where you are.

Eating the fruit at the end of each glass of sangria is not to be missed. The flavour is sweet and delightful.

Its best to make sangria in a pitcher, then serve over ice in tumblers or wine glasses.
