Anyone have a great Sangria recipe that's refreshing and great for outdoor parties?

I live here in Spain (lucky, lucky me) and drink sangria all summer long, here is my recipe, hope you like it.





In a punch bowl or similar vessel, (the Spanish use wonderful earthenware jugs (Jaras) to mix it up) pour one standard (750 ml) bottle of dry red wine and an equal amount (more or less, to taste) of carbonated Lemonade (Casera here in Spain) or sparkling water over a generous amount of ice. Add several thin slices of citrus fruit -- limes, lemons, oranges or a combination (you're adding peel as well, so be sure to rinse it well) and throw in some chopped apple for good measure. If you want to give it a little zing, I add a shot of brandy, a shot of Bacardi, and an orange-flavoured liqueur like Grand Marnier (Spanish shots are much larger than US or UK shots remember, in Spain we tip the bottle and count to 5). Some folks like a little sugar for sweetening. If you're in the mood, you can even make it substituting kiwis (peeled), strawberries and table grapes for the citrus. Sangr铆a is a forgiving punch -- it doesn't care if you change the rules in the middle of the recipe, except the colour of the wine. A white wine version has been created, however, lets get something straight right off the bat, Sangria is made with RED wine. You aren't going to convince me otherwise. The root word sangre is Spanish for blood and unless you bleed pale yellow, I'm sticking to my guns on that aspect. The wine you use to make sangr铆a should be palatable, of course, but it's silly to waste expensive wine on this kind of drink.Anyone have a great Sangria recipe that's refreshing and great for outdoor parties?

Ok this is my favorite sangria recipe. I think it's called a Sunset Sangria. It makes about one pitcher so multiple accordingly.





Two or Three bottle of chardine (to fill your pitcher a little under 3/4)





Cube two apricots, One apple and a few really ripe strawberries. A hand full or grapes and let it sit for at least a few hours so all the flavors have time to blend





Right when you're about the serve it take two or three scopes (not too big) of sherbet (apricot is best) and add that in. Serve and enjoy!
mix it with grape juice... white or red... freeze some grapes to put in the glasses to keep it cold. it's really good!! you may want to freeze the grapes overnight!
Pour a gallon of sangria in a punch bowl, float some fruit, pour in a bit of everclear to taste. You won't notice the heat for long!!!

BEST PARTY SANGRIA RECIPE........





1 bottle of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel or Shiraz)





1 lemon, cut into wedges


1 orange, cut into wedges


1 lime, cut into wedges


2 Tablespoons sugar


Splash of orange juice


2 shots of gin


1 cup of sliced strawberries or raspberries


1 small can of diced pineapples (with juice)


4 cups ginger ale





Pour wine in the pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the lemon, orange and lime into the wine. Toss in the fruit wedges (leaving out the seeds if possible) and add sugar, orange juice and gin. Chill overnight. Add ginger ale and ice just before serving. If you'd like to serve right away, use chilled red wine and serve over LOTS of ice. However, remember that the best Sangrias are chilled around 24 hours in the refrigerator...allowing the flavors to really marinate into each other.
Sangria





Drink Ingredients


1 Sugar


4 oz. Brandy


1 Lemon


1 Orange Slice


1 Apple


1.5 l. cabernet sauvignon





Instruction


Mix these altogether in a large container, stir, and let sit for 18-24 hours. Yes, I know that's a LONG time, but it's well worth the wait. A much more delightful sangria is produced when the fruit juice blends with the wine by osmmosis than by stirring
