How to Make Sangria II

1. Slice the fruit up into bite-size pieces and place in a punch bowl. (You may want to slightly crush the citrus fruits to get a little more of the flavor into the punch.)

Sangria II Reviews

• I decided to try and make sangria for the first time for my annual cinco de mayo party. I was a little hesitant at first because I was not sure which type of red wine to buy. After deciding to use a merlot, I added lemons, limes, and oranges and pineapple. I didnt have any cherries, so I left those out. Everyone loved this so much that I wish I had doubled the recipe as it was gone in about 10mins. Will make this one again.

• I used Merlot wine and 2.5 cups of lemon-lime soda. For fruit, I used 1/2 pineapples, 1 apple, 1/2 lemon, 1/2 lime, 1/2 orange. It tasted WONDERFUL I had to go out and buy more wine though because the recipe that is posted was enough for me to drink alone

• This is a nice refreshing beverage, that you would want to make all of the time.

• Thought this was pretty tasty. Added some bottled lime juice as well and served over ice. This was great for using some leftover red wine that I had.

• This was excellent We made it on Thanksgiving day. All the ladies loved it. I suggest not to crush the oranges to avoid the pulp taste.

• This is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I will always use this as my sangria drink. As far as the fruits I added I used what was on hand. I used lemon, orange, strawberries, and a jar of maraschino cherries. It was so refreshing. My husband and I drank the whole jug while he worked on the the car. Will def make over and over.

• I made the recipe adding a cup of orange juice. The flavor of the sangria was great, but I thought it had too much citrus fruit in it. Next time I think I may do half of the citrus fruit and add different fruit like mangos and melons instead.

• This was a great hit at a luncheon i hosted. i didnt make any changes, followed the recipe and used wine i had on hand.

• YUMMY

• Great drink to make on a summer evening

• Delicious

• Must have been good cause it went FAST :)

• This was an okay version of sangria, although I did change it up slightly. In addition to the other ingredients listed, I added about 1 cup of orange juice and 3 oz of triple sec (or any orange flavoured liqueur you may have). This added a lot of great flavour.

• Love this recipe I added in a can of frozen limeade and it gave it a real kick. Very yummy

• Simple and delicious I didnt have pineapple so I used apples instead...just as good

• I give it a three-star for its potent strength for a regular party. But Im experimenting for a wedding reception and I wouldnt want my relatives to fall over. It taste just okay. I added more OJ to the recipe.

• Absolutely awesome I served this at a graduation party and it was the hit of the party. I used all fresh fruit, Kiwi, pineapple, lemons, lime, etc. I will diffidently make again.

• This was pretty good It actually seemed better the second day. Thanks for the recipe

• Super easy...sure to please everyone

• Sangria had always eluded me until I saw this recipe. Its a great balance of flavors and the pineapple is nice.

• Easy and wonderful- it goes down easily so I will make more next time- I was out before dinner started

• I didnt love this sangria. Although I didnt have cherries and used canned pineapple instead of fresh. I also used about half the sparkling water in the recipe but I thought it was still a bit watered down. Maybe I should have added another bottle of wine?

• I had to augment it with Grand Marnier and Brandy (1 1/2 shots each). I used tart cherries and dry wine. My son liked it with a little OJ and some simple syrup. It packed a whollop Very pretty but my picture is too small to post.
