Thembisa’s Sangria

Thembisa’s Sangria cocktail made with La Tierra Agave Reposado, red wine, citrus, and seasonal fruit, a 100% Karoo agave spirit and South African tequila.

This chilled blend of Agave, red wine, and fruit brings a Mzansi twist, to the classic Sangria.

Ingredients:

50ml LTA Reposado
50 ml dry red wine
50 ml orange juice
15 ml agave syrup (adjust to taste)
1 slice each of orange, lemon, lime, and apple
Soda water or lemon-lime soda, optional

Method:

In a jug or large glass, combine LTA reposado, red wine, orange juice, and agave syrup. Stir to mix. Add sliced fruit and gently muddle a few pieces to release their flavour. Let the mixture rest for 10–15 minutes, or chill in the fridge to infuse. Fill a tumbler or wine glass with ice and pour in the sangria. Top with soda water if desired. Stir gently and garnish with a citrus wheel or apple slice.

Located just north of Kempton Park, Thembisa is one of Gauteng’s most energetic townships, full of colour, rhythm, and community pride.
