Answers: A better Sangria Recipe:

Ingredients:
? 1 lime which you need to cut into wedges
? 1 Lemon also cut into wedges
? 1 Orange, again cut into wedges
? 10 maraschino cherries, yum!
? 1 Apple cut into thin slices
? 1 cup of natural orange juice, if you can freshly squeeze your orange juice its always better
? 1/4 cup brandy
? 1/4 cup triple sec
? 1/2 cup white rum
? 1 bottle (750ml) dry red wine. I personally prefer to use Merlot.
Optional Ingredients:
? 1/4 cup sugar
? 2 Cups ginger ale or Carbonated Water

If you feel your sangria is a little too dry or acidic, you can add some sugar to taste

You can either serve sangria carbonated or flat. Most people prefer to take the lazy approach to make carbonated sangria and just add a carbonated drink like ginger ale to add a little fizz, which leaves your sangria only mildly carbonated; But I have an excellent trick for a superduper fizz.

Getting that super duper fizz:
Go to the grocery store or maybe gas station and you can buy a block of dry ice.

Use a strong screw top drink bottle (or more than one if you have a large batch of sagnria) and put some dry ice into the bottle.
Seal the lid and leave it in the fridge overnight.

the next day, you will have super fizzy sangria, Even the fruit will fizz in your mouth! I'm not kidding, take a piece of apple, it will fizz!

Try this recipe. Simple and fast
(for 1 glass)
1. Use a table wine. Something more tannic (Cab Sauv) rather than your premium reds.
2. 1 lemon slice, 2 orange slice and 3 wedges of lime. Muddle in glass.
3. Top up with 5 oz of red wine. Add in 3 cubes of ice and top up the cooler glass with sprite.

Same recipe can be used for a white sangria (use a Sauv Blanc)
