Sangria Recipes!

Sangria, the fresh fruit wine cocktail with roots firmly planted in Spain, delivers some serious party punch with a squeeze of fresh citrus and your favorite budget-friendly wine. The beauty of the basic Sangria recipe is that it is as delicious as it is easy, and it only gets better as you spice it up with your own tasty additions! Really, it is hard to add the "wrong" ingredient here, think favorite fruits, spice, and liquors. Chill and enjoy!

Just the Basics

For the crowd-pleasing Basic Sangria recipe, you'll need a bottle of red wine (feel free to keep it under $10, since we are going for the juice in general and not trying to draw out specific character components in the wine itself), a medium-sized orange and a large lemon (though if you are going for more citrus, then feel free to add another sliced orange and lemon to the mix) and a touch of sugar, bit of brandy and some ginger ale.
