This Brazilian Sangria recipe is one that will knock you socks off. It is filled with the fruit of your liking, a bit of cachaca, brandy, wine and, here's the kicker, absinthe. For all the Sangria recipes out there, this happens to be one of the most creative and a fine use for a quality absinthe like Lucid. For the fruit I suggest finding the freshest and most exotic fruit in the produce section that you can.

Ingredients:

  • fresh seasonal fruit (recommend: strawberry, lime, orange, kiwi and passionfruit)
  • 1/2 oz Lucid Absinthe
  • 1 1/4 oz cachaca
  • 1/2 oz Spanish brandy
  • 1/2 oz orange liqueur
  • 1 oz red wine

Preparation:

  1. In a cocktail shaker, thoroughly muddle the fruit with Lucid, cachaca, brandy, and orange liquor.
  2. Pour into wine glass.
  3. Float red wine on top of cocktail.
  4. Stir and enjoy.
