Ingredients

  • 1 orange, seeded and thinly sliced crosswise into rounds
  • 1 lemon, seeded and thinly sliced crosswise into rounds
  • 1/2 cup high-quality strawberry jam, or more to taste (or substitute simple syrup)
  • 1/4 cup strained fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup strained fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup brandy
  • 1/2 cup sweet Marsala
  • One (26-ounce) bottle medium-bodied red wine
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, thickly sliced

Instructions

  • Place the orange and lemon slices in a large pitcher or small punch bowl. Mash gently with a muddler or wooden spoon, taking care not to damage the pieces of fruit; you just want to bruise them enough for them to release their flavor.
  • Add the jam and muddle a little more, then add the orange juice, lemon juice, brandy, Marsala, red wine, and water and stir very well. Stir in the sliced strawberries. Cover the sangria with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
  • Refrigerate the sangria until cold, at least 3 hours.
  • To serve, ladle the sangria into chilled glasses, making sure to include some strawberry slices in each serving.
