Sangria recipe?

I think it was Shauni who posted it awhile back but I can't remember so whoever it was, would you, pretty please, post it again? I want to make it for the lingerie shower/bachelorette weekend.

Re: Sangria recipe?

  • it was meeeee

    one BIG bottle of red wine

    some brandy (a fifth)

    some sugar (1/4 cu or more depending on taste)

    some fruits of yoru choice (apples, pears, oranges, lemons, limes, peaches)

    lemon-lime soda (1/2 bottle?)

    mix all together and let sit for at least 2 hours to over night.

  • Drool. I want Sangria.

    I like strawberry slices and maraschino cherries in Sangria. They soak up the alcohol wonderfully and are like tiny bursts of alcoholic fruity perfection.  

  • Ok I know this might sound stupid but I have never had sangria so I have no idea of the flavor or mix or anything. But when you say 1/2 bottle of lemon lime soda, do you mean 1/2 of a 2 liter or 1/2 of like a 20 oz bottle?

    Depends on how much wine. If you used a regular sized bottle of wine then I'd use 1/2 a 20 oz. bottle. If you use the huge bottle of wine, like one where your hand won't fit around the biggest part, then use 1/2 a 2 liter. 

  • Ok thanks, I will be trying this!

  • Oh, also about the soda amounts - it also depends on what type of wine you use. I start with 1/4 and work my way up to 1/2 of the soda taste testing until I get it right.
  • This makes me want Jungle Juice :-)

    and this makes me think of my freshman year of college!  i feel old when i hear jungle juice and secretly want to vomit (pink vomit, from the JJ, mind you!) 

  • Oh I know but its sooooo good!!!! We have a JJ party to kick off summer and then we can't touch the stuff until the next year because it just kills everybody.

    Fourth Anniversary

    Okay, I'm late to this, but it's still on the front page, so there.

    At a party years ago, this girl brought what she called peach sangria, but instead of wine, it had peach schnapps.  OMG, it was so good.  Like, I drank a lot a lot of it good.  I have never been able to find a recipe for it, probably because it's not really sangria, so Googling that doesn't help.  But OMFG, so good.
