Authentic Spanish Sangria
- Reviews 3
Ready In: 10 mins
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
- 1 (750 ml) bottle red wine (cheap spanish tempranillo works great)
- 3⁄4 cup white rum
- 1⁄2 cup whiskey (sweeter the better)
- 1⁄4 cup triple sec
- 1⁄2-3⁄4 liter lime flavored seltzer water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1⁄2 lemon
- 1⁄2 orange
Directions
- Note: Because of the large volume I suggest making this in batches. This is one reason for the vagueness of the measurements.
- Mix the wine with 3/4 cup sugar. Set rest of sugar to the side.
- Add Liquors and stir.
- Slowly add 1/2 ltr lime seltzer and stir.
- Taste now and add any ingredients to taste. There SHOULD be a bit of a liquor bite to it, but it should NOT be overpowering. Likewise it should be sweet but not send you into a diabetic coma. It should also have a decent fizz to it, if it's too thick, add seltzer. Just experement.
- Once you've got the taste you want, add the slices of fruit. I've found that the sangria i get in America tends to be loaded down with fruit. Remember that it's more of a garnish and only adds a bit of flavor. If you need a ton of fruit to get the desired flavor, you haven't got the right mixture.
- Have fun experementing, and enjoy it. It's perfect for summer days and bbqs.
