Welcome to the Columbia Restaurant, I'm Andrea Gonsmart.

We're making Cava Sangria using cava wine, Spanish brandy, and Spanish orange liqueur.

Cut one whole orange in half; one half will be used for garnish and the other half for the sangria.

Slice half of a lime for garnishing the glasses.

Fill a pitcher with ice.

Add 1/4 ounce of brandy to the pitcher.

Add 1/4 ounce of orange liqueur to the pitcher.

Add a splash of lemon-lime soda to the pitcher.

Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with simple syrup to your liking.

Add the half orange to the pitcher.

Garnish the glass with an orange slice, lime slice, and optionally a cherry or strawberry.

Serve and enjoy the Cava Sangria.
