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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right wine. Use a dry red wine like Tempranillo or Rioja for a classic Spanish sangria. Avoid using sweet wines, as they can make the sangria too sugary.
  • Use fresh fruit. The fruit in sangria should be fresh and ripe. This will give your sangria the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pitcher. When adding the fruit to the pitcher, don't overcrowd it. The fruit should be able to move around freely in the liquid.
  • Let the sangria chill. Sangria is best served chilled. Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh fruit. When serving sangria, garnish it with fresh fruit. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
