To make this Brazilian sangria, you will need a variety of fresh fruits to give it that tropical twist. I recommend using pineapple, mango, kiwi, and orange. These fruits not only add a burst of flavor but also add a beautiful color to the drink.
To give this sangria its unique Brazilian twist, we will be adding a splash of cachaça, a liquor made from fermented sugarcane juice. It has a fruity and slightly sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with the fruits in this recipe. If you can't find cachaça, you can use white rum as a substitute.
The base of any sangria is red wine, and for this recipe, we will be using a bold and fruity red wine such as Malbec or Cabernet Sauvignon. These wines add depth and richness to the sangria, balancing out the sweetness of the fruits and liquor.
To sweeten and balance the flavors of this sangria, we will be making a simple syrup using water and sugar. This syrup will also help bind the flavors together and give the sangria a smooth and enjoyable texture.
1. Begin by making the simple syrup. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally. Let it cool completely before using.
2. In a large pitcher, combine the chopped fruits and pour in the simple syrup. Use a muddler or wooden spoon to gently crush the fruits and release their juices.
3. Next, add 1 cup of cachaça and 1 bottle of red wine to the pitcher. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
4. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.
5. When ready to serve, add some ice cubes to the pitcher and stir well. This will help chill the sangria and also dilute it slightly.
6. Pour the sangria into glasses, making sure to include some of the fruit in each glass. Garnish with a slice of orange or kiwi, if desired.
7. Enjoy your refreshing Brazilian sangria with your friends and family!
This Brazilian sangria is a perfect drink for any occasion, whether it's a summer barbecue, a holiday gathering, or just a fun night with friends. The combination of fresh fruits and Brazilian liquor gives it a unique and delicious flavor that is sure to impress. So, next time you're planning a party, remember to add this Brazilian sangria recipe to your menu and transport your guests to the colorful and lively streets of Brazil.
