What is a good recipe for sangria that you have actually tried?

Answer 1

The cheapest red wine you can get, mixed with O.J and sliced oranges (sliced with the skins on). 2 parts wine to one part O.J.

The trick: Add a bashed vanilla pod if you can for a subtle sweetnes which makes everyone want more and more and more and more...

Answer 2

I had a BBQ pizza and sangria party this summer we had a great time and everyone was drinking my sangria here's my recipe.

One bottle Spanish red
Castillo de Monseran Garnacha is an inexpensive red
3 cups orange juice
1/2 cup Appleton's estate rum (brandy is more traditional but rum imparts more flavour)
1 tbsp sugar
One vanilla bean split
several slices of orange

When empty the orange slices and vanilla bean are good to go for the next batch.

Answer 3

I first had Sangria in Spain, and have always preferred it authentically made. Here's the recipe I generally use, which my friends always seem to enjoy.

Ingredients:
Magnum (1.5L) cheap Spanish wine.
Half bottle (375mL) Spanish brandy.
Quarter bottle (200mL) Triple-sec (or Grand Marnier if you're feeling bling-y).
Bottle (1L) Sprite or 7-up (or Mountain Dew if it's going to be an all nighter)
Two large navel oranges.
Three bosc pears.
Two granny smith apples.
One Mango.

Directions:

Take all the fruit (leave the skins on) and slice thinly. Put in a large punch bowl. Add brandy and leave in the fridge overnight.

The next morning, add wine and triple sec. Just before serving, add the soda.

Serve and enjoy!

Answer 4

Here is the recipe that I used, and it came out pretty good:

1 750-ml bottle of dry red wine (3 cups)
1 1/2 cups lemon-lime soda (such as 7UP)
1 1/2 cups orange juice
16 lime slices
16 lemon slices
8 orange slices
1/2 cup brandy
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons Cointreau or other orange liqueur
2 tablespoons grenadine
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice


Stir wine, soda, orange juice, 8 lime slices, 8 lemon slices, orange slices, brandy, sugar, Cointreau, grenadine, lemon juice and lime juice in large pitcher to combine. Let stand 30 minutes.

Fill 8 large wineglasses with ice cubes. Divide sangria among glasses. Garnish each glass with remaining lime and lemon slices and serve.


It seems like a lot of work, but it is easy if you are making pitchers of it. I usually make two or three batches and leave two in a container in the fridge as I serve one from a nice fruit-filled pitcher. Use whatever fruit you want - I like to add grapes and strawberries instead of so many lemons/limes. Everyone loves it!
