"Valencia is true orange growing country, and this recipe is based on fresh orange juice, which is best - try not to use carton or bottled orange juice. And beware, this innocuous-sounding drink is strong! It must be served ice cold - if Cointreau is not available or too expensive - use a local orange liqueur."

Ingredients: Cointreau liqueur, sparkling wine...

"Really easy to drink. Just remember it's not juice. ENJOY!"

Ingredients: dry red wine, white grapes...

"This is a Sangria that I make every year when we have people over for New Year's Eve. I think that it is better than some of the Sangrias I have had at restaurants! (Please also see my "New Year's Eve Red Sangria" as well!)"

Ingredients: club soda, Grand Marnier...

"When I lived in Spain and we had "office parties" I was always asked to bring the Sangria. While most Sangria is made with red wine, I like white better - we had one called Diamante, mmm. After tweaking the recipe each time, I think it's a really good one now. Since I'm a blonde, they called it blonde Sangria made by La Rubia!"

Ingredients: cranberry juice, ice cubes...

"A version of Sangria that even the kids can enjoy."

Ingredients: seltzer water, lemons...

"Adapted from "Peterson's Holiday Helper," by Valerie Peterson (Clarkson Potter, 2008). This is a blend of all the favorite holiday flavors, not really a true sangria. You can use a sparkling cider or grape juice, or even a champagne if you'd like to. Cherries are an excellent addition to this drink as well. This is best left to sit..."

Ingredients: dry red wine, sparkling apple cider...

"I duplicated this recipe from a wonderful little tapas restaurant in Boston that serves the best white sangria I've ever had. I asked the bartender how it was made, and here's my modified version based on what she told me. I think it tastes exactly the same. It is important to buy an unsweetened can of pineapples, as that changes the flavor..."

Ingredients: juice, seltzer water...

"A different take on a Spanish sangria recipe - ideal for parties."

Ingredients: cola, Grand Marnier, lemonade...

Ingredients: club soda, dry red wine...

"The wine shop I work for recently had a Sangria party for our customers. This was one of the recipes we used. It is best to allow this to sit overnight (add ice just before serving) but if you're in a rush it will still be good to drink right away."

Ingredients: merlot, ice, limes...

"A sweet and fruity drink, just the thing for a warm summer evening. I adapted this from a recipe by Bobby Flay."
