Spanish Sangria – Beverages and Drinks Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

Start with a large bowl or even a plastic bucket…everyone

loves sangria and it goes down real easy.

In Spain the golden rule is to begin with equal parts of red

wine and orange or lemon soda pop. Add coarsely cut

pieces of apple, banana, orange (with peel) and any other

fruit in season such as strawberries, kiwi, pear, etc.

Then, depending on the taste and alcoholic content you prefer

add a splash of any/all of the following:

brandy, rum, kirsch (to ‘spike’)

sweet vermouth (for aroma)

liqueurs (for fruity taste):

amaretto

coconut

banana

cointreau

peach

(almost any kind but creme de menthe

because of the murky color it produces)

Many people consider a generous sprinkling of cinnamon a must.

At first it looks like it won’t dissolve but after a while it does.

If the mixture gets too sweet add lemon juice.

For champagne sangria just substitute cheap sparkling wine for the

red wine.
