The best sangria I ever tasted comes from a down-home Italian / American family restaurant in Rhode Island called Bassett's Inn. The place has been there forever, with its booths and sneeze guard protected salad bar and its 1970s decor. In fact, my fiance remembers sitting at the bar as a kid eating marischino cherries while his father tended bar.
We go there from time to time for some comfort food and during one visit I raved about the red sangria to the bartender, who was nice enough to share the recipe she uses.
Here's how to make this Red Sangria by the glass:
Ingredients:
Red wine
1 oz. Orange Liquor (Gran Marnier or Gran Gala)
1/2 oz. Brandy
Dash of Sour Mix
Dash of Orange Juice
Pinch of Sugar
Splash of Club Soda
Shake all of the ingredients (except for the club soda) together with ice and pour into a large wine glass. Add a splash of soda and garnish with fuit, such as an orange slice, lime, and a cherry.
Relax and enjoy.
