To make Portuguese red wine sangria, you will need a bottle of red wine, 1/2 cup of brandy, a cup of orange juice, a cup of sliced fruit (such as oranges, lemons, and apples), a cup of soda water or lemon-lime soda, and some ice cubes.
Red wine should first be added to a big pitcher. Add the brandy, orange juice, and sliced fruit to the pitcher and stir well. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Just before serving, add the soda water or lemon-lime soda to the pitcher and stir gently. Pour the sangria into glasses over ice after filling them with cubes of ice. If desired, add more fruit slices as a garnish.
There are many variations of Portuguese sangria, and it is a versatile drink that can be customized to suit your preferences. Some variations use white wine instead of red wine, while others add additional ingredients such as sugar or spices. You are welcome to experiment with various flavours and components to make your own special version of this delightful beverage.
