Only this sheet prints - the size above is what it is set to.
Ingredients
- 1800 ml Red wine - A young Spanish red - Rioja or Tempranillo - and nothing precious
- 180 ml Brandy - What gives it a spine; a Spanish brandy if you have one
- 420 ml Orange juice
- 59 ml Sugar - Only if the fruit is not sweet
- 12 slices Orange
- 24 slices Apple (optional)
- 2839 ml Ice
Batch (12 drinks) - about 5.3 l of measured ingredients, before ice and dilution.
Timings and per-glass steps are written for one drink and are not scaled. A full jug takes longer to chill, so stir or shake until it is properly cold rather than by the clock, and pour over fresh ice one glass at a time.
Quick version
- Fruit and sugar in a jug, brandy and juice next, wine last, then chill.
Method
- Slice the orange and the apple and drop them into a jug with the sugar.
- Press them gently with the end of a wooden spoon so they start to give up their juice.
- Pour in the brandy and the orange juice and stir to dissolve the sugar.
- Add the wine, stir once more, and put the jug in the fridge for at least an hour - overnight is better.
- Fill glasses with ice and pour, making sure everybody gets some fruit.
