THE BEST SANGRIA



The Best Sangria image

The longer sangria sits before drinking, the more smooth and mellow it will taste. A full day is best, but if that's impossible, give it an absolute minimum of two hours to sit. Use large, heavy, juicy oranges and lemons for the best flavor. Doubling or tripling the recipe is fine, but you'll have to switch to a large punch bowl in place of the pitcher.

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.

THE VERY BEST SANGRIA



The Very Best Sangria image

There is a popular Spanish restaurant in town where they are known for their sangria. After years of downing this delicious and potent quaff, I had to have the recipe. You may make this with either red or white wine. Do not leave out the cinnamon. Add sugar to your likeness. Personally, I don't like it too sweet. Careful... This packs a punch on those unsuspecting.
