What are the best recipe and tips to make nice Sangria?
Answers:
I've been collecting Sangria recipes, tips, and suggestions for many years. In essence Sangria is a red wine punch, created in Spain and made popular in the US at the 1964 World's Fair. It normally has red wine, brandy, and fruit. However, it can be made in just about any style you can imagine.
Sangria is the perfect party punch that just about everybody loves! Fresh, fruity, delicious, Sangria can be made in any number of styles from spicy to mild to rich to bubbly
Grand Marnier Sangria
I had this at a local, classy fish restaurant. It was really quite tasty so I asked for the recipe. Here's how you create a Grand Marnier Sangria, with lots of fruit and orange flavor!
1 bottle Woodbridge Cabernet
4 shots Grand Marnier
6 cherries, sliced
2 oranges, segmented
1 lemon, quartered
1 lime, quartered
Mix all ingredients together and let sit for a few hours. Strain and serve over ice.
Fruity Sangria Blanca
Sangria with fruit is a perfect summertime drink. What makes it great is that you can customize it to hold your favorite fruits, and get some lovely nutrition as well! Where most sangrias are made with red wine, this is made with white wine to emphasize the fruity flavors.
1 bottle Spanish (or other favorite) white wine
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup peach-flavored brandy
6 tbsp thawed lemonade concentrate
8 oz sliced peaches
1 cup sliced green grapes
1 cup sliced red grapes
Mix together the wine, sugar, brandy and lemonade until well mixed. Add in the fruits, and refrigerate overnight.
Serve the next day from a large pitcher filled with ice
Sangria - The Mexican Kitchen
Sometimes Mexican cookbooks just have the boring things you can get out of any webpage. Burrito. Taco. Quesadilla. But then, sometimes, you find the truly special cookbooks that reach deeper, into the interesting things that Mexicans actually eat much of the time. Do we really think that people in Mexico eat tacos every single day, for every meal?
Here's a sample recipe from this great cookbook - their Sangria. It's interesting because, unlike most sangrias, it can be served instantly without sitting overnight. Also, the notes say that it's slightly less alcoholic than the Spanish original.
Ingredients
4 cups dry red table wine
2/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup caster sugar
2 lines or 1 apple, sliced, to serve
Half fill a large jug with ice cubes. Pour in the wine and the orange and lime juices.
Add the sugar and stir well until it has dissolved. Pour into tumblers and float the lime or apple slices on top.
Serve at once.
NOTE: Caster sugar is a very fine sugar, although not as powdery as confectioner's sugar. It's used in drinks because it dissolves easily. If you only have normal sugar, grind it up a bit in your food processor

Here's my recipe for peach sangria:
1 peach or nectarine sliced thin and peeled.
1 lemon sliced
1 can jumex peach nectar or equivalent
1/4 cup peach schnapps
1 bottle prosecco, champagne,cava, or asti spumante, depending on the level of sweetness you like.
Put fruit in the bottom of a glass pitcher. Smush it a little. Pour in the can of nectar and the liquor. Let stand about an hour. When ready to serve, pour in the prosecco and pour over ice. No need for club soda if you use sparkling wine.
OR, you could replace the prosecco with a bottle of white wine and 2 cups of club soda/mineral water. Whatever you like.
