Ingredients
For the Ginger-Cardamom Syrup:
1 1/2 ounces
2 tablespoons water
1/3 cup sugar
20 green cardamom pods
For the Sangria:
2 1/4 cups red wine
1 cup
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon
1 batch Ginger-Cardamom Syrup
Chilled seltzer or club soda
Candied ginger, for garnish
Directions
If using a juicer, juice ginger , then measure out 2 tablespoons fresh ginger juice and mix with water. Proceed to step 2. If using an immersion blender, chop ginger roughly, then add to blender jar with water and blend thoroughly. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer; mixture should yield 4 tablespoons ginger liquid. In a small saucepan, combine ginger liquid and sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves, removing from heat as soon as sugar dissolves; do not let boil. Add cardamom pods, cover, and let cool. Refrigerate at least 2 and up to 10 hours.
Add wine, orange juice, and sweet vermouth to a pitcher. Strain Ginger-Cardamom Syrup into pitcher and stir to mix. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 2 hours. To serve, fill wine glasses with ice. Add sangria and top with seltzer or club soda if desired. Garnish each glass with candied ginger if desired.
