red wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic red wine

💰Cheaper: table wine

Non-alcoholic wine offers a similar flavor without alcohol.

brandy

🥗Healthier: cognac

💰Cheaper: flavored vodka

Flavored vodka can mimic the fruitiness of brandy at a lower cost.

soda water

🥗Healthier: sparkling water

💰Cheaper: club soda

Club soda provides similar fizz and flavor.

sugar

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: honey

Honey is a natural sweetener that can be more affordable.

Slice half an orange and add it to a large pitcher, saving the other half.

Slice half a lemon into wheels, removing seeds, and add four wheels to the pitcher.

Chop half a green apple into fine slices and add it to the pitcher.

Add 3 oz of rich demarara syrup to the pitcher.

Pour in 4 oz of fresh lemon juice.

Add 4 oz of orange liqueur (Grand Marnier) to the mixture.

Pour in 6 oz of semi-dry sherry.

Stir the mixture to incorporate all ingredients, ensuring the syrup is mixed well.

Chill a bottle of red wine and pour the entire bottle into the pitcher, stirring to combine.

Cap the pitcher and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld (optional).

Serve the sangria over ice in highball glasses, garnishing with fresh fruit slices.

Optionally, top with soda water for a bubbly finish.
