Equipment

  • Pitcher
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring cup
  • Refrigerator

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry red wine
  • 2 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brandy
  • Ice cubes for serving
  • Extra blackberries for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Place the blackberries and raspberries in a large pitcher. Add the sugar and mash the berries with a wooden spoon until they release some juice.
  • Pour in the red wine and brandy. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
  • Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least one hour so the flavors can blend.
  • When ready to serve, fill four glasses with ice cubes. Stir the sangria once more and pour it into the glasses, making sure each one gets some of the berries.
  • Drop a few extra blackberries into each glass as garnish.

Notes

Mashing the berries well before adding the liquids gives the sangria a richer color and thicker texture. If the drink tastes too tart after chilling, stir in an extra tablespoon of sugar before serving. Leftovers keep in the fridge for one day, though the berries will soften more.
