SHORTCUT SANGRIA

I found this in Sunset years ago and have made it often for parties. I mix it right it the serving pitcher so it's quick and easy. Use Torani vanilla syrup, or similar brand, the type used to flavor coffee, and a big 1.5 liter jug of the cheapest red wine you can find.

Time 5m

Yield 2 1/2 quarts, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 cup vanilla-flavored syrup
2 oranges, thinly sliced
1 lime, thinly sliced
1 cup orange juice
2 (750 ml) bottles dry red wine
ice cube

Steps:

In a 3 quart or larger pitcher, combine syrup, orange slices, lime slices and orange juice.
Add wine to pitcher; mix and pour into ice-filled glasses.

Tips:

Choose the right wine: For a classic sangria, use a dry red wine with medium tannins and good acidity, such as Rioja or Tempranillo.
Use fresh fruit: Fresh fruit is essential for making a delicious sangria. Choose fruits that are in season and that have a good balance of sweetness and tartness, such as oranges, lemons, limes, berries, and peaches.
Add some sweetness: Sangria is typically a sweet drink, so you'll need to add some sweetener. You can use sugar, honey, or agave nectar. The amount of sweetener you add will depend on your personal preference.
Add some spices: Spices can add a lot of flavor to sangria. Common spices used in sangria include cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and star anise.
Let it chill: Sangria is best when it's chilled. Make it at least an hour before you plan to serve it, or even better, overnight.

Conclusion:

Sangria is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Experiment with different fruits, spices, and sweeteners to create your own unique sangria recipe. Cheers!
