What's the best Sangria product?
Answers: Sangría, like fondue is one of those things that are a product of necessity that for some reason becomes iconic and gains stature. The original Sangría from Spain is made with the CHEAPEST red wine you can find, lime juice, sugar, club soda or water and some tangy, old, mushy fruit and if the fruit is nasty enough you need to add a strong liqueur like vodka or brandy. If the flavor is not 'spicy' enough, you can add cinnamon. In essence the Sangría is meant to be cheap. So in order to make a 'good' Sangría spend the $15 gallon it will cost you to make it and do it yourself. If for some reason you want to make an 'top shelf' Sangria, then use Rose's Lime juice add a dash of sweetener in 3/4 of a glass of soda with ice and mix, then CAREFULLY add some medium quality red wine (If you spend more than $10 in the wine you are wasting your wine) on top so it floats. garnish with some freshly minced peaches and maybe strawberries. make it yourself. lots of chopped fruit, lemonade, vodka and plenty of red wine I have never tried a fake sangria product that was any good. I've had a fair amount of luck "cheating" when you buy a bottle or two of the cheap sangria wine, cut up all sorts of citrus fruit (lemons, oranges, grapefruit) mix them together and let them sit in the fridge for a day or two. Eating the fruit is the best part!!!...and the fresh fruit will make even the cheap stuff taste good!
