Does anyone have a great Sangria recipe, specifically what type/brand of red wines do you prefer to use?

The Best Sangria


The longer sangria sits before drinking, the more smooth and mellow it will taste. A full day is best, but if that鈥檚 impossible, give it an absolute minimum of two hours to sit. Use large, heavy, juicy oranges and lemons for the best flavor. Doubling or tripling the recipe is fine, but you鈥檒l have to switch to a large punch bowl in place of the pitcher. An inexpensive Merlot is the best choice for this recipe.





Serves 4


2 large juice oranges , washed; one orange sliced; remaining orange juiced


1 large lemon , washed and sliced


1/4 cup granulated sugar


1/4 cup Triple Sec


1 bottle inexpensive, fruity, medium-bodied red wine (750 milliliters), chilled








1. Add sliced orange, lemon, and sugar to large pitcher; mash gently with wooden spoon until fruit releases some juice, but is not totally crushed, and sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Stir in orange juice, Triple Sec, and wine; refrigerate for at least 2, and up to 8, hours.





2. Before serving, add 6 to 8 ice cubes and stir briskly to distribute settled fruit and pulp; serve immediately.Does anyone have a great Sangria recipe, specifically what type/brand of red wines do you prefer to use?
a really easy option is to buy the jug or box Sangria and add some orange soda and a few orange slices to it.Does anyone have a great Sangria recipe, specifically what type/brand of red wines do you prefer to use?
This is the one that I have listed on our website.





2 bottles Ca de Medici Lambrusco Rosso Dolce Cubista


4 oz. Triple Sec


3 oz. Brandy


3 oz. fresh orange juice


2 oz. fresh lemon juice


2 oz. fresh lime juice


4 oz. sugar syrup


Lemon slices


Lime slices


Orange slices





Combine, chill, drink (and enjoy)!





Note: It's OK to be a little more liberal with the brandy and tripple sec.
