Texas Sangria

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon orange extract
  • 1 teaspoon Angostura bitters
  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup of your favorite Texas whiskey, TX, Rebecca Creek, Balcones, etc
  • 3 12 ounce bottles hard honey cider, I prefer Austin East Ciders
  • 1 1/2 cups dry Spanish red wine, I prefer Aroa Jauna
  • 1 apple, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 orange, quartered and thinly sliced
  • 1 pear, cut into bite-sized pieces

Instructions

  • Add the sugar, orange extract, bitters and water into a large pitcher or bowl. Whisk well and set aside for 10 minutes until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Place the fruit into the sugar water.
  • Pour the whiskey, cider and wine over the fruit. Stir well and place in the fridge.
  • Let the sangria marinate for at least 8 hours before serving. Pour the sangria over ice cubes and serve cold.

Notes

Feel free to substitute bourbon for whiskey.
