What is the best Sangria recipe?
I’m not a drinker, but I love sangria! It’s the perfect party drink for a hot summer night. INGREDIENTS: * 1 Bottle of red wine (I use Zinfandel) * 1 Lemon cut into wedges * 1 Orange cut into wedges * 1 Lime cut into wedges * 2 Tbsp sugar * Splash of orange juice * 2 Shots of gin * 1 Cup of sliced strawberries or raspberries * 1 Small can of diced pineapples (with juice) * 4 Cups ginger ale PREPARATION: Pour wine in the pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the lemon, orange and lime into the wine. Toss in the fruit wedges (leaving out seeds if possible) and add sugar, orange juice and gin. Chill overnight. Add ginger ale and ice just before serving. If you’d like to serve right away, use chilled red wine and serve over lots of ice. However, remember that the best Sangrias are chilled around 24 hours in the frig. – allowing the flavors to really marinate into each other. Sources: http://wine.about.com/od/
