Notes

Tips For Making The Best Sangria

Let it sit in the refrigerator for AT LEAST 4 hours for the flavors to marry.
Use a red wine that you actually like. You don’t need to use an expensive bottle, but you certainly shouldn’t use the cheapest bottle you find. You can find great bottles to use for under $20.
Feel free to try different liquors in the sangria. Rum, bourbon, and brandy all work very well. Apple or Pear Brandy are also great options.
Serve it chilled and with a few pieces of the soaked fruit
For presentation and added sweetness, rim the cup with either cinnamon sugared rim or a mixture of pumpkin pie spice and sugar.
