Excerpted from Holly Arnold Kinney’s “Shinin’ Times at The Fort”
Fruit “sangarees” – cocktails similar to the wine beverage sangria – were popular in the days of Bent’s Old Fort. Fruit syrups were combined with red wine and ice for a cool, refreshing drink. Made the same way at The Fort, they’ve previously been in high demand during the hot summer months.
Cool off by blending up this tasty recipe at home, or join us for one of our renowned historic cocktails (or mocktails!) on our new covered patio overlooking Colorado’s stunning foothills and Denver skyline.
You will need:
- 6 oz. red wine
- ½ cup frozen strawberries in syrup
- ½ cup cracked ice
Blend the wine, strawberries and ice in a blender and serve in a tall glass. A refreshing beverage has never been easier – HUZZAH!
