You all are making this way too complicated.





As a winery owner in Spain, most folks just take a bottle of cheap red wine, pour it over ice, add some cubed up fruit; peaches, oranges and apples, add a little sugar or sweetner and finish with 7up or sprite.





The easiest, most common summer drink is Tinto de Verano. Simply red wine over ice and 7up or sprite.
get a big jug of white wine with a bland taste so it doesnt mess with the taste of the sangria, go to Olive Garden and get the tropical sangria mix its like 8 bucks and then add fruits like maraschino cherries, lemons, limes, orange, its awesome
