There’s red … white … with brandy … without brandy …
You’ll even find a “whatever drinks you’ve got leftover in the cupboard” sangria!
Generally speaking, however, you should make sangria using a full-bodied red wine.
To this, you add a variety of fruity flavourings, plus a bit of spirit – such as brandy – to give it a kick.
Whichever type you decide on, make sure it’s icy-cold before serving.
Below, you’ll find a fairly simple sangria recipe.
Alter this according to taste, or to what you have available.
Don’t drink too much though!
And check out our wonderful Spanish recipes page, where you’ll find tasty recipes to accompany your sangria.
