This recipe makes a little over a gallon. Sangría may be served in tall glasses filled with crushed ice. It may also be served chilled in wine glasses without ice. Save the "drunk fruit" afterward to use for a quick second batch if you run out, which you may — because it's really, really good! It is my signature drink and I named it after the Guadalupe Valley just to the north of Ensenada and home of Mexico’s finest wineries. 1 medium orange Using a vegetable peeler, gently peel the skin from the orange to make orange zest. Make sure it’s very thin. Put the orange zest in a small bowl. Using the back on a spoon, bruise the peel to extract the oil. In a large punch bowl, combine wine, orange juice, Controy and brandy. Add orange zest into wine mixture. Separate orange into sections and cut sections
in half. Cut the lime into thin slices. Cut apple
and pear into small pieces, leaving the skin on.
Slice bananas. Add all fruits to wine mixture and
chill at least four hours. Serve in clear glasses
with just a couple ice cubes in each. Do not remove
the fruit! These recipes are from Ann Hazard’s fourth book, Cooking With Baja Magic Dos. Scheduled to be released in September 2005, it will be a must have for all Baja Aficionados!

Ann says: "The original Cooking With Baja Magic was published in 1997 and reflected my life and travels up to that point. In the intervening years, I have had the opportunity to further explore this magnificent peninsula and meet some amazing people. InÊ 2003, my husband Terry and I sold our houses in San Diego and La Bufadora and moved to Buena Vista, midway between La Paz and Cabo San Lucas on the Sea of Cortez. Since then, we have traveled extensively and learned much about our adopted country. The life here suits us perfectly. "I always felt more at home in Mexico than in the US and for years I pondered why. Now I know. I now know that my heart is Mexican. Mi corazón es Mexicano. That is why I live in Baja, and I believe that because I do, the experiences I share now in Baja Magic Dos are more authentic. I've also added 90 new recipes some that I've created, many that I've discovered and several that were given to me by talented Baja chefs. There are lots more surprises too, including several new sections, more historical and culinary information and 50 restaurant recipes.” New recipes from old favorites from the first Baja Magic include Tío Pablo's in Los Barriles, Pancho's in Cabo, Caffé Todos Santos and the Buena Vista Beach Resort. Eighteen of Baja's hottest hotels, restaurants and bars are contributing for the first time here. They are: Hussongs (Ensenada), Pueblo Bonito (Cabo), Posada la Poza and Hotel California (Todos Santos), El Chilar, Hotel Tropicana, Brisas del Mar and Buzzard's (San Jose del Cabo), Ray´s Place (Mulege), Isla Loreto (Loreto), Mr. Azucar´s (La Paz) and the Giggling Marlin (Bahía de los Sueños).

Sangría
is a popular summer drink in Spain. It’s
fruity and tastes somewhat like a delicious wine
punch. However, beware that the Mexican version
has Controy and brandy, which give it an extra
jolt.
