Simple Sangria
Because everyone should know how to
concoct a pitcher of Sangria, Caribbean
Trading Company presents to you a basic
recipe for a traditional Sangria. Please feel
free to get creative and submit your own
Sangria recipes. Will post most the most
fascinating and yummy.
Ingredients
-1 bottle of red wine
-juice of 1 lime
-1.5 table spoons of sugar
-2 to 3 cups of chopped fresh fruit (1 apple, 1
orange, 1 peach, handful of red grapes)
Step 1: Chopping the fruit
You’ll want to maximize the surface of fleshy
part of the fruit – so thin slices for the orange
and cubes for the apple and peach. Grapes
should be peeled and cut in half. Leave some
slices on the side for garnishing later.
Step 2: Bringing it all together
Combine red wine, lime juice, sugar and
chopped fruit into a large pitcher and stir
with a wooden spoon. For best results, let the
Sangria sit in the refrigerator overnight –
however if you want to drink right away, just
chill the Sangria until cold.

Step 3: Serving
Pour Sangria into a wine glass over 2 or 3 ice
cubes and garnish with left over fruit pieces
for presentation.

La Vampirita
Cheers to Halloween! Beware of the
Vamparita. This lady is una
Margarita sangrienta – or a bloody
Margarita. Unlike a Bloody Mary,
this drink is actually your
traditional frozen margarita layered
with sangria. Potent and alluring,
the Vamparita is sure to please even
the most demanding blood-thirsty
pallet.
To serve up a Vamparita simply fill
2/3 of a tall glass with frozen
margarita and then pour in sangria
for the remaining 1/3. Garnish with
an orange wedge and serve
immediately.
