Favorite sangria recipe?
If you have one, what is it? I'm debating making sangria for a holiday party we are hosting on the 12th. Thanks!
Re: Favorite sangria recipe?
So good.

White or red? I have a recipe for both.
White (my favorite of the two):
2 lemons, thinly sliced
2 limes, thinly sliced
1 Red Delicious apple, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 (750-mL) bottles Sauvignon Blanc
1 cup brandy
2 (1-liter) bottles lemon-lime sparkling water, chilled
1 cup green grapes, frozen
---Combine first 6 ingredients in a large pitcher; stir well. Chill at least 2 hours
Red
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup orange juice
1 (750-mL) bottle red wine, such as Merlot or Burgandy (I use cheap Merlot)
1 small orange, thinly sliced
1 lemon, thinly sliced
---Combine first 3 ingredients in a large pitcher, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add wine, orange slices, and lemon slices; stir gently. Serve over crushed ice. (My variation: the past two times I have added about 1 cup of pineapple juice and IMO it is MUCH better).
There is one on the Pampered Chef website - its really good. I make it alot in the summer and the neighbors just rave about it.
