You're certainly going to have to experiment to find your own special recipe.
Mine is:
1.5 liter cheap wine; red zin or chianti, rose or blush, or white rhine or chablis.
2 oranges
1 lemon
2 limes
any other fruit you think might be interesting
sugar
Wash fruit thoroughly. Let dry.
In a pitcher that's large enough to hold all 1.5 liters of wine, plus a lot of ice and all the other ingredients:
Cut all fruit in half and squeeze juice into pitcher--then throw the entire rind and pulp into pitcher as well. (If it's not a squeezable fruit, process it however you think best. Berries can be mashed, kiwi can be cut thin, etc. Do not add skins if, like banana or kiwi, they are not normally consumed.)
Add the least amount of sugar you think you'll need (maybe 1/4 cup).
Pour in all of the wine. Stir. Check for sweetness, add more sugar if desired.
Add ice to fill pitcher.
Optional: add 1/2 cup brandy or sherry.
I've never tried Olive Garden's, but I make this VERY simple sangria at every party I throw and it's always a hit:
red table wine (I just use a small box of Franzia red, because there's no need to buy good wine just to drown out the flavor)
1-1 1/2 2L of orange pop
then I put in orange and apple slices, which I've soaked overnight in rum.
It sounds like nothing, but it's SOOO good!
"good" and "olive garden" in the same sentence? shame... Their house wine is swill.. but, anough bashing your taste.. have you asked someone there? Often times staff are more than hapy to share restaurant secrets... I suspect they use some packaged mix...
Actually its not packaged, It is equal parts table wine (red if berry flavored, white if tropical or peach) and then sangria juice mix according to the flavor you want.
Good question. Olive Garden Sangria is the best. It never occured to me to ask about it.
