This is my favorite sangria recipe which I originally posted in 2006. I made it last night (as least once or twice annually) so wanted to remind you to try it if you haven't: delicious.
Recipe: Cava Sangria
Sangria is always a welcome addition to entertaining in the summer, but this version is especially delicious and refreshing. This recipe is based on one from Jose Andres' in Bon Appetite, June 2006.
1/2 cup white grape juice
6 tbsp. Licor 43 or Tuaca (I used Tuaca. The bottle of Licor 43 I found was about 60 years old.)
5 tbsp. brandy
2 tbsp. sugar
2 750-ml bottle of cava
1 cup sliced strawberries (plus more for garnish)
Fresh mint
Combine the first four ingredients in a large pitcher, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the strawberries and allow to sit for several hours or overnight. Add the two bottles of cava, stir to combine and serve over ice. Garnish with mint and strawberries.
