How to make Sangria!

Classic Spanish Sangria
This is an authentic version of the popular wine drink. You can add any fruit that you want, but I find that apples and pears absorb all the rum.
This one is not diluted with carbonated beverages. I have much success with red Burgundy wine and white rum, though spiced rum is nice too.
Prep Time: approx. 10 Minutes. Ready in: approx. 2 Hours 10 Minutes. Makes 6 servings.


1 lemon
1 lime
1 orange
1 1/2 cups rum
1/2 cup white sugar
1 (750 milliliter) bottle dry red wine
1 cup orange juice


Directions
1 Have the fruit, rum, wine, and orange juice well chilled. Slice the
lemon, lime and orange into thin rounds and place in a large glass pitcher.
Pour in the rum and sugar. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours to develop the flavors.

I play it by ear and it's a bit different every time, but it's always good:

1 bottle of red wine
1 small bottle of brandy
1 cup of OJ
cut up oranges
cut up apples
rasberries
cut up mango

(really whatever fruit you are in the mood for)

I let it sit overnight and the next day it is ready to drink!!!!!!!!!

I make it all the time and my friends like it:

I make it by taste so I don't have proportions - my friend taught me this recipe (sounds strange but it is good)

Red wine -
Orange Juice
Fresca (but ONLY a SMALL bit)
then add:
cubed apples, and oranges (and any other fruit you want)

It is really easy to make and although as I said it sounds strange everyone seems to love it

sage's recipe is the way I make it...

I think the apples are SO important though!! they soak up so much of the alcohol that if you eat them you are feeling so GOOD

are you going to sahre with us

Here's the recipe I am using for Marnles GTG

1 magnum burgundy (gallo makes a decent one)
6 oz tripple sec
6 oz brandy
6 oz tropican OJ
cut up friut ( 1 orange, 2 lemosn, 2 limes, grapes (cut in half))

mix everything together
Chill overnight
taste it before serving - if not sweet add 8 oz sprite, otherwise 8 oz club soda - I usually use sprite

I'm expecting to generate a gallon of sangria from this
