How to Make Cuban Sangria

  1. Wash and cut 1 (750ml) bottle of strawberries, 1 orange (about 1 cup), 1 lime (about 1/2 cup), and 1 apple (about 1 cup) into small chunks.
  2. No need to peel the fruit; simply wash and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Place the cut fruit in a large cooler or beverage dispenser.
  4. Pour 1 (750ml) bottle of dry red wine, 1 cup of dark rum, 1/2 cup of orange liqueur (like Triple Sec or Cointreau), and 1/2 cup of simple syrup (or to taste) over the fresh fruit. Gently stir to combine.
  5. Cover the cooler and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or up to 48 hours for a more intense flavor. Allow to chill in a cool, dark place.
  6. Serve chilled. Ladle the sangria into glasses, including the fruit pieces.
  7. Serve over ice (optional) or straight from the cooler. Garnish with extra fruit slices or a sprig of mint if desired.
