Best Ever Spanish Sangria Food

CLASSIC SPANISH SANGRIA

Steps:

• 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.
• When ready to serve, crush the fruit lightly with a wooden spoon and stir in the wine and orange juice. Adjust sweetness to taste.

BEST TRADITIONAL SPANISH SANGRIA RECIPE

Steps:

• If using the sugar (which will make a sweeter sangria than if you omit), dissolve the sugar in two tablespoons of water over a low flame to create a clear simple syrup. Let cool.
• Wash the oranges and cut off thick pieces of rind before juicing the oranges.
• Juice the oranges.
• Wash the lemon and cut off pieces of rind before juicing the lemon.
• Juice the lemon.
• In a large pitcher or bowl, stir together the wine, simple syrup, orange juice, lemon juice, and brandy (if using), and add in the pieces of lemon and orange rind. If making a truly traditional Spanish sangria, simply add the cinnamon stick and let sit at least two hours (preferably overnight) before serving over ice. This allows the sangria to take on the aromas of the fruit rind and cinnamon stick.
• If you want to make a slightly more modern version (still not anything too crazy!) add in chopped up chunks of green apple and peach. For the modern version you can also top off with a carbonated beverage (lemon soda, orange soda, or soda water) right before serving for some bubbles.

Steps:

• In a large pitcher combine the wine, gin, sugar, the juice from 3 oranges, 3 lemons, and 1 lime. Slice the remaining orange, lemon, and lime and add them to the pitcher as well. Stir the mixture and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator.
• Pour the sangria into glasses filled with ice and top with guarana soda.

Steps:

• Optional: If you want to use sugar to make a sweeter sangria, dissolve two tablespoons of brown sugar in two tablespoons of water over low heat to create a syrup. Afterward, let it cool.
• Juice 1.5 oranges so that you have around 3/4 cup of fresh orange juice.
• Chop the remaining half orange and half an apple into small pieces.
• Stir together one bottle of dry red wine, the fresh orange juice, optional syrup, brandy or vermouth (optional), and the orange and apple pieces.
• Add ice cubes (and optional a carbonated beverage) just before serving.
• Enjoy your homemade sangria!

WORLD'S BEST EVIL SANGRIA

BEST-EVER SPANISH SANGRIA

Steps:

• Juice citrus (200-300 mL) into a small saucepan; add sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon stick (snapped up) to juice in saucepan. Heat liquid, while stirring, until until steam rises.
• Pour liquid into a heat proof jug or allow liquid to cool first.
• Pour wine into container with brandy.
• Add juice/spice mix, stir. Add leaves, crushed and deveined. Chill 24 hours.
• You can also add any other fruits you like! If I add apples or pears, I like to soak them in the brandy overnight before adding them to the sangria. YUM!

AUTHENTIC SPANISH SANGRIA

Steps:

• Note: Because of the large volume I suggest making this in batches. This is one reason for the vagueness of the measurements.
• Mix the wine with 3/4 cup sugar. Set rest of sugar to the side.
• Add Liquors and stir.
• Slowly add 1/2 ltr lime seltzer and stir.
• Taste now and add any ingredients to taste. There SHOULD be a bit of a liquor bite to it, but it should NOT be overpowering. Likewise it should be sweet but not send you into a diabetic coma. It should also have a decent fizz to it, if it's too thick, add seltzer. Just experement.
• Once you've got the taste you want, add the slices of fruit. I've found that the sangria i get in America tends to be loaded down with fruit. Remember that it's more of a garnish and only adds a bit of flavor. If you need a ton of fruit to get the desired flavor, you haven't got the right mixture.
• Have fun experementing, and enjoy it. It's perfect for summer days and bbqs.
