Jamie Oliver recently shared a “super easy” recipe to make a Spanish sangria in under 10 minutes. “Embrace balmy summer days with a jug of sangria. With red wine, Spanish brandy, sparkling water, cinnamon and chopped fruit, it’s a lovely sharing cocktail,” he said.

Ingredients

Two oranges, chopped

Two pears, chopped

Two lemons, one chopped, one juiced

200g red berries, chopped

Three tbsp caster sugar

One tsp cinnamon

Ice

750ml bottle light red wine

100ml Spanish brandy

300ml sparkling water

Method

Put the chopped fruit in a bowl and sprinkle over the sugar and cinnamon, then stir to coat. Cover and leave to macerate in the fridge for at least one hour, or ideally overnight.

Fill a large jug with ice. Stir the macerated fruit mixture to ensure the sugar is dissolved, then tip into the jug with the wine and brandy. Stir, then top up with the sparkling water and serve.
