Putnam's Killer Sangria

It's that time of year again. Many have asked us to provide the recipe that was used to make sangria for last year's Summer Solstice fundraising event for Growing Hope.

So, here it is. Our very own Putnam Weekly came up with this stellar sangria recipe, which he's been generous enough to let us share.

25 oz. (1 bottle) red wine
6 oz. FRESH SQEEZ'D orange juice
5 oz. unsweetened pineapple juice
4 oz. triple sec
2 oz. lime juice
1.5 oz. decent brandy (christian bros, vsop, pisco, vs cognac etc.)
1.5 oz. carpano antica
1 oz. simple syrup (2 fluid oz. sugar + 1 oz. water)

Add the fruit of your choice (strawberries, limes, mangos, whatever)
Yes, the secret ingredient is the Carpano Antica, available at Everyday Wines. It comes in a big bottle, but don't worry, you'll find plenty of good uses for it.
