Notes

Brandy: Choose a good quality brandy. It doesn’t need to be top shelf since we’re adding so many other flavors, but it shouldn’t be bottom shelf either. 😉
Orange liqueur: You’ll need orange liqueur for this drink. I keep Cointreau on hand and use that, but Grand Marnier, triple sec or another orange liqueur would be fine, too.
Fruit: The fresh fruit really puts this over the top, both flavor and looks wise. Don’t skimp on it, but you can try mixing and matching other fruits if desired.
Sugar: The recipe calls for super fine sugar. I don’t tend to keep that on hand, so I use regular granulated sugar and make my own. Details are below.
Sparkling wine: Feel free to choose Prosecco, Cava, champagne or another sparkling wine. You do want it to be chilled. And I prefer a dry (brut), but you could try this with a sweeter sparkling wine if you want to add more sweetness to the sangria. Depends on your tastes.
How to make super fine sugar from granulated sugar:
You’ll use a 1:1 ratio. For this recipe, measure ¼ cup granulated sugar. Place it in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Put the lid on and cover the food processor with a towel to help contain the dust from the sugar being ground.
Process until the sugar is broken down but not a powder, about 1 minute. Let sit for 15 seconds to allow the sugar dust to settle, then open the lid and your sugar is ready to use.
