Sangria recipe (one of many you can mix and combine)

One of the beauties of Sangria recipes is that you can use a variety of different wines in the recipe mix. just atke the one you used the previous day or one cheap wine (in Spain we use the tetra brick wines :-)

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 additions!so go out and start trying and mixing and changing some of the ingredient

For example you can change the red wine for white or cava and you will have an interesting variation that will always surprise your friends

All in all it will take you 5 minutes to do it, so what are you waiting for ?

Ingredients:

• 1 Bottle of red wine (Rioja or VAldepenas rules), however white wine or cava will also do
• 1 Lemon cut into wedges
• 1 Orange cut into wedges
• 1 peach, apple or nectarines will also add amazing flavour 
• 2 Tbsp sugar (or maybe 2,3 or 4 if you prefer a sweet one)
• 1 Shot brandy or cointreau or rum could also do (whatever you have handy)
• 2 Cups ginger ale or club soda (fizzy water will do) - You could also do orange or lemon soda and don't use then much sugar as the flavour sodas have already much sugar on them
• Lots of ice cubes

Preparation:

Pour wine in the pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the lemon and orange into the wine. Toss in the fruit wedges and add sugar and brandy. Chill overnight (a couple of hours and lots of ice cubes will also do, but then try to have the wine in the fridge ahead of time, but the flavours of the fruit will not be capture that well).
