Summer Red Wine Sangria

Submitted by Charlotte J

"In my never-ending quest to figure out what to do with that bottle of burgundy wine I opened. (I only used 1/2 cup of it in a previous recipe) I found this recipe for Sangrias. Now what do I do with the rest of the orange liqueur? I see another mission in my future."

I made 2 pitchers of this. One as the recipe reads and 1 with Chablis for a white sangria. They were to die for! People were looking at me funny when I said that I was making sangria until they tasted it! Great for parties - especially during the summer when you are sitting out on the deck. I will make it again!

Great Sangria recipe. Easy to put together and even more fun to drink after a long day at work. Thanks for a winner!

I LOVE to make sangria but have only made white, this red did not disappoint! Made it for a girls night and we drank the whole thing, delicious!!

DH's and my favorite Mexican restaurant serves a delcious sangria. I have been on a mission to find a recipe that sort of resembles it. This is a very close match. I made mine in a glass pitcher and added the fruit slices. Looked real pretty and tasted fantastic. The perfect drink to go along with fajitas, quesadillas, and my dad's chimichangas. Ole!!!

Love sangria and you cannot use the bottled stuff, way too sweet. Great recipe a dry red burgundy balances everything nicely.
