- My husband is from Spain and this is how he makes Sangria . . .
-
- 1-2 bottles of inexpensive cabernet-type red wine
- lemon-lime type soda, like 7-UP or Sprite
- oranges
- lemons
- apples
- peaches
- (other fruit as available)
- sugar
- brandy (optional)
-
- In a large pitcher, pour a bottle of wine. Add sliced fruit, leaving
- room for soda. Add sugar to taste. Add a shot of brandy, if you
- like. Add soda right before serving (not hours in advance). If you
- mix the fruit and wine together in advance, the sangria will have a
- more fruity flavor but the fruit will be discolored (still tastes
- fine). The proportion of wine to soda will depend on your personal
- taste, how good the wine is, how strong you want the sangria to be, and
- how carbonated you want it. I think that we use a two or three to one
- ratio. If you have a big enough pitcher, you could always add more
- wine from the second bottle.

- !Salud!
