Has anyone ever tried sangria?!
Has anyone ever tried sangria?
I hear it's wine. is that true?
Answers:
yes. think of it as a homemade wine cooler. here is a recipe for the best sangria:
The longer sangria sits before drinking, the more smooth and mellow it will taste. A full day is best, but if that’s impossible, give it an absolute minimum of two hours to sit. Use large, heavy, juicy oranges and lemons for the best flavor. Doubling or tripling the recipe is fine, but you’ll have to switch to a large punch bowl in place of the pitcher. An inexpensive Merlot is the best choice for this recipe.
Serves 4
2large juice oranges , washed; one orange sliced; remaining orange juiced
1large lemon , washed and sliced
1/4cup granulated sugar
1/4cup Triple Sec
1bottle inexpensive, fruity, medium-bodied red wine (750 milliliters), chilled
1. Add sliced orange, lemon, and sugar to large pitcher; mash gently with wooden spoon until fruit releases some juice, but is not totally crushed, and sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Stir in orange juice, Triple Sec, and wine; refrigerate for at least 2, and up to 8, hours.
2. Before serving, add 6 to 8 ice cubes and stir briskly to distribute settled fruit and pulp; serve immediately.
Yup,yup,that stuff is fuckin awesome!!!

it is SO yummy. i went to a party a few weks ago and they had a passion fruit sangria made with white wine. it was fabulous. i need to get the recipe!
It is a very sweet wine, so if you like sweet wines, give it a try!
Sangria is made with red wine. You take sliced oranges lemons and some cherries in a pitcher with a little orange juice and you muddle all of the fruit then add the wine you can also put a little triple sec in it . It is served cold and is delicious!
Love it! Prefer the berry type.
