Il Palio's Classic Red Sangria

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to try a new sangria recipe! Il Palio pairs a robust red with fruits of the season: apples and oranges. Greet your small groups this year with a glass of this yumminess and Thanksgiving will for sure be a hit! Cheers!

Classic Red Sangria

1 btl (750ml) Pinot Nero or similar wine

1 apple, cored, skin on, and chopped

1 orange, rind on, sliced into wheels or half moons, seeds removed

4 Tbsp brown sugar

3 oz brandy 

In a large bowl or pitcher, lightly muddle apples, oranges, and sugar.  Add the brandy and orange juice and lightly muddle and mix until everything is well incorporated.  Add the wine and stir all ingredients well.  Chill for several hours or overnight.  Strain if desired, or serve as is, over ice.  Garnish with an orange wheel.
