Good luckWhats the Best recipe for Sangria ???!!!?
This is the bet recipe I've tried, and I've tried a lot of them! The balance of flavors is nice, but I think the secret is in letting it sit in the fridge for a while so the flavors really have a chance to combine.





--2 large juice oranges, washed--slice one orange, then juice the remaining one


--1 large lemon, washed, sliced


--1/4 cup sugar


--1/4 cup Triple Sec (or Grand Marnier, but that's more expensive and not really worth it for this recipe)


--1 750-ml bottle inexpensive, fruity medium-bodied red wine such as Merlot, chilled (note: don't waste a really nice bottle on sangria--you won't taste the difference!)





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





Before serving, add 6 to 8 ice cubes and stir briskly to distribute the fruit pulp. Serve immediately.





This is easy to serve to a group--no problem if you need to double the recipe. If you want a boozier sangria, you can always add more triple sec or even a splash of Cognac, or just let guests doctor it to their taste, but I prefer this lighter, more summery version where you really taste the citrus. Happy Valentine.
RECIPE FOR SPANISH SANGRÍA





The authentic traditional Spanish Sangria!





Ingredients:


1 Litre of red wine


2 oranges - juice


4 peaches, cut into small pieces (can use canned)


5 desert spoons sugar


2 pieces of lemon skin





Steps:





1: Choose a red wine - Sangria is a refreshing drink and you don't need to use a vintage wine. Put the wine into a jug, add the sugar, and stir until it is properly dissolved.





2: Squeeze the two oranges, and add the juice to the jug. Save a slice of orange skin to decorate.





3: Wash the peaches, peel them and cut them into small quarters (e.g. six per peach). Add them to the jug. If it is not Summer, you can use any other in-season fruit.





4: Put the jug into the fridge. Sangría should always be served chilled. If you want to reduce the alchohol concentration, add icecubes and slices of lemon. If you want to increase the alcohol concentration, add a small amount of cognac or rum.
Sangría:





3 tablespoons sugar


3 tablespoons white rum


3 tablespoons Cointreau (orange-flavored liqueur)


3 tablespoons brandy


6 orange slices


6 lemon slices


1 peach, cut into 6 wedges


1 cinnamon stick


1 (750-milliliter) bottle Rioja or other fruity red wine (such as Beaujolais or Zinfandel)


1 cup sparkling water, chilled





Combine all the ingredients except sparkling water in a large pitcher. Chill for 8 hours. Stir in water immediately before serving.





Yield: 6 servings
Sangria





750 ml good red wine


1/2 c orange juice


1/2 c sugar


1/2 cup brandy


1 liter bottle of club soda





Select several of the following fruits ~ oranges, limes, lemons, strawberries, cherries, pineapple, kiwi





mash some of the fruit (any combo that suits your taste) to make one cup mashed fruit. add to wine mixture, Slice some of the fruit to place in glasses.





right before serving put wine mixture into a pitcher, add club soda and serve with sliced fruit.
Sangria is a great party drink for the summer – It’s easy to make, inexpensive and very refreshing. It is a good punch for a large party and by adding or subtracting 7-up, you can make it as strong or weak as you’d like.





Although you may be tempted to buy the cheapest red wine you can find, resist that temptation! If you would not drink the wine by itself, don’t put it in the sangria. It will taste better and you won’t have a hangover the next day.





This recipe serves 6-8 party-goers.





INGREDIENTS:


2 750 ml Bottles Red Wine – any type


2 12 oz cans 7-Up or any lemon-lime soda


2 oz Triple Sec


1/2 cup Brandy


1/2 cup Sugar, (more if you like a sweeter drink)


1 Orange, Sliced


2 Lemons, Sliced


Ice


PREPARATION:


Prepare the Fruit





Slice the orange and lemons about 1/8 inch thick. Place in a large punch bowl or the largest mixing bowl you have. Add 1/2 cup of sugar and wine. Mix thoroughly to dissolve the sugar.
