Sangria Recipes?

[NoNoNanette]

Got a good Sangria recipe? Had one many years ago, but lost it....I remember putting a good bit of Brandy in it for an extra kick.

TIA

[edible complex]

for sangria by the glass, I use a recipe from Mexico that uses a bit of ice, club soda, simple syrup or sweet n sour mix, and red or white wine and a squeeze of lime. I layer it just like that for visual effect for the red sangria.

if I'm making a pitcher, then I'll add everything except the soda and then add the soda as each glass is poured. depending on what fruit I have, I've added grape, strawberries, apples and allow to soak for hrs in fridge. SAMS has a big bag of frozen mixed fruit that works well too to pop in glass to keep it chilled.

if you like them a bit sweeter, then add a splash of triple sec.

Add lemon halves to mixture and also add other sliced fruit (oranges, apples, etc)
