Milagro Sangria

Jaime Salas our favorite Mixologist and Milagro Brand Ambassador used to join us for a special summer sunset cruise every summer featuring Milagro

  • 1.5oz  Milagro Reposado
  • .5 oz Crème de Casis
  • 3 fresh blackberries
  • .75oz agave nectar
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • .75oz red wine  (We love it with Malbec!)

Muddle nectar, lemon juice and berries. Pour rest of ingredients and shake with ice, stain and pour in a red wine glass full of ice. Garnish with blackberries and a lemon twist.

To make a batch for multiple folks multiply the ingredients by number of servings with the exception of blackberries. Take one third of the amount you would use per cocktail per person and throw into a blender with a little water and blend. Then double strain and add to the Sangria “punch”.
