Wine Base
- 1 750ml bottle of Riesling
Fruit and Flavorings
- 3 pears, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 orange, cut into rounds
- 1 piece of fresh ginger, 2 inches long, peeled and thinly sliced
Alcohol
- Prepare the fruit: Wash the pears and orange thoroughly. Cut the pears into 1-inch cubes and slice the orange into rounds, setting them aside for the sangria.
- Slice the ginger: Peel a 2-inch piece of fresh ginger and thinly slice it to release its spicy, aromatic flavor into the drink.
- Combine ingredients: In a large pitcher, pour the entire bottle of Riesling. Add the cubed pears, orange rounds, sliced ginger, and 1/2 cup of ginger brandy to the pitcher.
- Mix and chill: Stir gently to combine all ingredients. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 to 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and infuse beautifully.
- Serve: Once chilled, stir again gently and serve the sangria over ice, ensuring each glass gets a mix of fruit and ginger slices for garnish and flavor.
Notes
- For a sweeter sangria, add a tablespoon of honey or simple syrup before chilling.
- Use fresh, ripe pears for the best flavor and texture.
- Letting the sangria chill overnight enhances the infusion of flavors.
- This sangria pairs wonderfully with light appetizers and summer meals.
- To make it more festive, add sparkling water or soda just before serving for a fizzy twist.
