Cocktail Colin says:

5/5

Sangria pairs the deep, robust flavors of red wine with refreshing citrus notes and a hint of brandy warmth, creating a balanced and inviting drink that's both fruity and sophisticated. The addition of orange liqueur and sugar syrup enhances its sweetness, while the soda water introduces a light fizz that makes it particularly enjoyable on a warm day.

Can I use different types of wine for Sangria?

Yes, while traditional Sangria is made with red wine, you can also use white wine or rosé to create variations like White Sangria or Rosé Sangria. The choice of wine can influence the flavor profile and color of your Sangria.

How long should I let the Sangria sit before serving?

It is recommended to let Sangria sit for at least a few hours, or overnight in the refrigerator, to allow the flavors to meld together. This waiting period helps in enhancing the overall taste of the Sangria.

Can non-alcoholic Sangria be made?
