I love cooking with wine...
...sometimes I even put it in the food!
Many years ago I got elected to create cocktails for a fancy-schmancy party (I also cooked the entire meal, now that I think about it). The birthday girl's favourite drink in those days was red wine sangria, so naturally this was part of the menu. I looked online and found a couple of recipes but none of them spoke to me. So I decided to create my own and boy am I glad. I am still making them this way and not a drop gets wasted. Here goes.
Ingredients
1 bottle red wine
2 shot glasses white rum (can sub with vodka)
1 shot glass lemon juice
1 cup sugar
3 cups fruit, diced small (apples, pears, oranges, grapefruits, strawberries; depending on the season)
Club soda
Method
Combine all ingredients (except the soda) and chill for at least 6 hours
Serve topped with club soda, garnish with fruit.
Serves 4
