This TikTok Trend Wants You To Make The Best Sangria In A Coffee Press
Do you have a French press collecting dust in your cabinet because you never use it to make coffee? Well, you may want to pull it out, because TikTok has a new use for it: making sangria.
We have all learned a thing or two from TikTok University and now you can add wine maker to the list! If you love Sangria you might want to try the newest TikTok trend.
According to Food and Wine, a popular TikToker Ereka Vetrini recently shared a video of how she uses the French press to make her take on a sangria/Aperol spritz combo. I am a HUGE fan of Aperol so I will for sure be trying this one myself!
First, She puts cut up peaches, sliced oranges, cherries, a squeeze of orange juice, Aperol and Prosecco in it, then covers the press, stores it in the fridge for a few hours, then simply presses it and pours it over ice for a perfect summer sipper.
The comments section is divided between those who say the drink is neither a spritz or sangria, but others call it “genius.” And it turns out, you can use your French press to make other cocktails, too. Just about anything that needs muddling, like mojitos and juleps, as well as anything that needs an infusion of flavor, like a plum gin fizz can be made in one, and so can warm drinks, like hot toddies.
@erekasfood COFFEE PRESS APEROL SPRITZ SANGRIA should be the #DrinkOfTheSummer !! I saw Jacy Topps use this genius method to make regular sangria. The press forces the fruit flavors to infuse into the drink quicker. If you don’t have a press you can absolutely make it in a large pitcher, just let it sit in the fridge longer so that the fruit flavors have time to infuse into the spritz. Ingredients: 1 peach, cored and sliced or diced 1/2 orange sliced 1/2 orange juiced 1 cup cherries sliced in half and seeds removed Aperol Presecco -Add fruit and orange juice to a coffee press. -Fill 1/2 way with prosecco and 1/2 with Aperol. -Stir, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. -Press, pour over ice and serve with an orange slice (optional)
