Here’s how to make this refreshing sangria:
Ingredients:

🍊 1 orange, sliced

🥃 1/4 cup Macieira

🍯 2 tbsp honey
💧 Sparkling water to top
🧊 Ice
Steps:
1. In a large pitcher, combine the wine, macieira, ginjinha, fruit, honey and cinnamon stick.
2. Let it chill in the fridge for at least 1–2 hours to let the flavours blend.
3. Just before serving, top with sparkling water and lots of ice.

It’s sweet, fruity, and has that little Portuguese twist that makes all the difference. Cheers to summer! 🥂🇵🇹
