Perfect refreshing summer drink for a party!
I do have a few slight twists I like use for my own sangria recipe.
I like to add berries, like blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries.

While apples and oranges are more traditional, I find berries infuse more flavor and color into the wine.
I also like to stir in a little soda water when I serve just for some extra pizzaz.
That sparkle just gives the sangria a little Lambrusco-esque zing.

For the red wine, I recommend buying a cheap bottle for this recipe, frankly.
Rioja winefrom Spain is traditional for sangria.
A zinfandel would work great in sangria.

(you’re free to even make several days ahead.
A bit of fruit, a little orange juice, some brandy.
Boom, boom, done.

for about 5 minutes or up to 2 hours.
The flavors will mellow and improve the longer it’s possible for you to wait before serving.
If you prefer a very clear sangria with no fruit pulp, pour the sangria through astrainerwhen serving.
