If making ahead of time (recommended), cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. Then, add the orange juice, Gran Gala, and Aperol.
Orange juice (bottled is ok, fresh is way better) andĭo you see why I recommend using 3 different varieties?!īegin by slicing your oranges and placing them in the bottom of a pitcher, or punch bowl. Gran Gala (you may use Grand Marnier, Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur, or Triple Sec). Aperol (you may use Campari, though that will change bitterness and alcohol content). Moscato (you can substitute for another late harvest white wine, such as Reisling). This is another super easy drink to make, and since it can be made ahead of time, it is host/hostess friendly crowd-pleaser.įirst, gather your ingredients - you'll need: So it just seemed fitting to use blood oranges for this cocktail.īlood oranges are named for their gorgeous deep red color and another reason why I chose them for this drink.īut why stop there? There are other types of oranges with hues equally gorgeous, so to make this a bit more visually appealing, I also used Cara Cara oranges, which look a bit more like a grapefruit as well as California navel oranges.īut really, any orange variety will do here, and you can even add some lemon if you desire. You may already know that the word sangria is derived from the Spanish word for blood, sangre. It is delicious and a wallet-friendly substitute for Grand Marnier. So while you can definitely refer to this as a Moscato wine punch, I think Moscato Sangria, or Italian Sangria is a better fit.īack to Gran Gala - this liqueur blends VSOP Brandy with orange essence derived from Sicilian Oranges. In my opinion, it is the addition of brandy that differentiates a sangria from a punch. Gran Gala is a key ingredient in this Moscato sangria recipe, not just for its orange flavor, but because it is actually a VSOP Brandy. It's namesake cocktail, the Aperol Spritz, is probably what this ingredient is best known for. Much like Campari, it has a bitter orange flavor, although Aperol is sweeter and has a lower alcohol content that Campari. What is Aperol?Īperol is an apertif, or aperitivo, that hails from Italy. In this Moscato sangria recipe, we substitute Moscato for the Tempranillo that is most often used to create Spanish sangrias. Some describe it as having peach flavors, while others describe it as citrusy with hints of orange and lemon. Moscato is a sweet, white wine made from the Muscat grape and originates from the Piedmont region of Italy.īecause of its sweetness, it is often enjoyed as a dessert wine. This Italian sangria recipe is one of them. While we are not limiting ourselves to Italian inspired cocktails, we will often draw on those flavors to create drink recipes that we feel will pair beautifully with Italian inspired food. In case you haven't noticed by now, Sip and Feast has begun to focus more on the food its founder, James, grew up cooking - New York Italian-American fare. This Moscato Sangria recipe combines Aperol, Gran Gala, Moscato wine and fresh orange juice to put an Italian spin on the classic Spanish wine punch.
