Anyone have a fantastic Sangria recipe?

[vtdiamond]

The last few recipes I have tried have not turned out that great.

Does anyone have a proven amazing recipe that they could share??

I don't have it on me, and I'm on my phone. But google Jose Andreas white sangria or cava sangria. You mix juice, brandy, and fruit and let all the flavors mingle. Then you add sparkling white wine at the end. The one they serve at Jaleo has strawberries and mint. So refreshing on a hot day!

This is my go to recipe for parties. I'm making it in a couple weeks. I don't add the optional sugar though.

Yes! SO GOOD! We had a party and went through 4-5 bottles of cava because it was so popular.

I don't remember where I found this one but we love it! We make it with our homemade wine. You can use either red or white wine. When we do white wine, sometimes I do peaches instead. You can also skip the apple too.

1 1/2 L wine
1 cup Sugar
1 large Lemon, sliced
1 large Orange, sliced
1 large Apple, cut into thin sections
3-4 oz plain Brandy
Soda water


Instructions:
Mix wine, sugar and fruit, and let sit in the fridge for 18-24 hours. The mixture will have a somewhat syrupy consistency. Before serving stir in brandy and cut the mixture with soda water until it have a thinner, more wine like consistency. Serve from a pitcher in wine glasses.

We love this Olive Garden knock-off.

Hm I just pour a box of wine and whatever random shit in a jug. Perhaps I should try a recipe next time.

I swear by this recipe from Cook's Illustrated.

This is my go-to with some random variations depending what I feel like. It's best after sitting a few hours

•Two bottles red wine -
•One bottle sparking cider - 25.4 oz.
•One can san pelligrino aranciata (orangata) 11.5 oz.
•Two bottles san pelligrino limonata - 6.7 oz. each
•Half bottle brandy - about 1 cup
•Two limes - chopped small pieces
•One orange - chopped medium pieces
•One granny smith apple - chopped medium pieces
•About 2/3 cup sugar ( may add more - need to taste it chilled)

You really don't need to use the sparkling apple cider, I just believe it helps the muddling process due to the fizz.

Yeah, I throw some cointreau in some wine with sliced oranges. Klassy.

Haha that was mine last weekend but I also added some Hennessy that I had lying around. I blame all my bad decisions that night on the Henny.

Looks like I'm going to be drinking lots of sangria this summer....so many recipes I want to try!

Thanks everyone!!

1 bottle sauvignon blanc
1 bottle beaujolais

Mix all the above until sugar dissolves. Chill overnight. A few hours prior to serving, add 1-2oz brandy, strawberries, and grapes.
