TRADITIONAL SPANISH SANGRIA RECIPE
Steps:
- Optional: If you want to use sugar to make a sweeter sangria, dissolve two tablespoons of brown sugar in two tablespoons of water over low heat to create a syrup. Afterward, let it cool.
- Juice 1.5 oranges so that you have around 3/4 cup of fresh orange juice.
- Chop the remaining half orange and half an apple into small pieces.
- Stir together one bottle of dry red wine, the fresh orange juice, optional syrup, brandy or vermouth (optional), and the orange and apple pieces.
- Add ice cubes (and optional a carbonated beverage) just before serving.
- Enjoy your homemade sangria!

CLASSIC SPANISH SANGRIA
This is an authentic version of the popular wine drink. You can add any fruit that you want, but I find that apples and pears absorb all the rum. This one is not diluted with carbonated beverages. I have much success with red Burgundy wine and white rum, though spiced rum is nice too.

BEST-EVER SPANISH SANGRIA
This is as close as I have found to sangria in Spanish restaurants. No soda here! This is a mulled sangria that really draws out the flavors. Prep time does not include chilling overnight.

- Pour liquid into a heat proof jug or allow liquid to cool first.
- Pour wine into container with brandy.
- Add juice/spice mix, stir. Add leaves, crushed and deveined. Chill 24 hours.

- Add a variety of spices to taste, such as cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
