Sips & Tips
Technique
Use an inexpensive, fruity red wine — Garnacha or Tempranillo are traditional. Don't use anything you wouldn't drink on its own. Refrigerate at least 2 hours for the fruit to infuse.
Balance
The brandy adds backbone and the triple sec adds citrus depth. Taste before serving and adjust sweetness. A splash of soda at serving time adds refreshing fizz.

Variations
